Duration: 1 day
Distance: 12 km
Means of transport: car
First Stop Montefiore Conca, a medieval gem
Looking up from Rimini or from the plain, a rocca of unique shapes immediately catches the eye: it is Montefiore Conca, a stone sentinel dominating the valley and guarding fascinating stories within its ancient walls.
- Visit the Parish Church with its fine Gothic portal and a Riminian Crucifix from the 14th century.
Turn towards Osteria Nuova and continue until you first come to Montescudo and then Montecolombo joined together in a single municipality.
Second stop Montescudo, a panoramic balcony
A fortress town with legendary walls, designed to be impregnable.
- Museum of the Eastern Gothic Line - Church of Peace
An ancient parish church that has become the "Church of Peace" transformed into the Museum of the Eastern Gothic Line.
Third stop Montecolombo, in the green hills of Romagna
Walk through the cobbled streets of Montecolombo to savour its serene atmosphere. Your gaze wanders over lush vineyards and the vestiges of a mediaeval past. A regenerating break in the heart of the Conca Valley.
- Ethnographic Museum
Located in the vicarage adjacent to the church of Valliano, surrounded by greenery, enter this small and well-kept museum.
Advice from a true pro
- A few kilometres from Montescudo rises the silent Castle of Albereto for an enviable panorama all the way to the coast.
- The Sanctuary of Valliano is a place of peace and spirituality immersed in nature, perfect for a contemplative pause.
- You can also go to Montefiore Conca by camper van: the Camper Service is only 400 metres from the town.
