Ravenna is the home of the Mosaic Basilica, with a delightful small town atmosphere. It is a walker's paradise, to say nothing of a shopping heaven for some. The old town is a mainly pedestrian area. If you like old churches and interesting architecture, the Basilica of Sant' Appollinare Nuovo with his amazing mosaics and Dante's Tomb is a must see.

The caves of Frasassi are part of the grand hypogean complex which extends for about 18 Km. The route is exciting and the illumination accentuates the shapes and the colours of the concretions: inlaid stalactites, gigantic stalagmites, small lakes, spears of alabaster which hang from the lofty vaults, an hypogean itinerary which has been defined as one of the most beautiful in the world.

Gradara is a classic ancient village enclosed inside a long city wall where the imposing and spectacular castle completes the medieval centre. The fortress was completed by the Malatesta family between 1307 and 1325 and has subsequently been restored several times. Legend has it that Gradara, the home of the Malatesta family, was the scene of the tragic love story between Paolo and Francesca, as immortalised by Dante, "The trembling mouth, kissed me..."

The mountain was already sacred to the Gods when Saint Leo arrived in the 3 century and deemed it the ideal place from where to diffuse Christianity, which later became the diocese of Montefeltro (the town's former name). In the turmoil of wars, San Leo became famed as an almost impregnable fortress. Berengario II, who sought refuge here, elevated it to the status of capital of the Reign of Italy in 963. 

Urbino is a city notable for a remarkable historical legacy of independent culture, especially under the patronage of its then duke, Federico da Montefeltro. The town, nestled on a high sloping hillside, retains much of its picturesque medieval aspect, which is somewhat distracted by the large car parks below the town. The city hosts the University of Urbino, founded in 1564, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Urbino. Its best known architectural piece is the Palazzo Ducale.

Verucchio is an extremely ancient town, ennobled by the presence of a civilization that is to a certain extent still shrouded in mystery. The village of Verucchio dominates the splendid panorama of the Valmarecchia. The Rocca fortress, the Collegiata dei Santi Martino e Francesco d'Assisi and the Archaeological Museum are all well worth visiting.

A doorway to the past, a special village that is a pearl in the Valmarecchia!  Well worth visiting are its elegant churches, beautiful Piazza Ganganelli, the narrow streets in the old town, the Malatesta fortress, the caves, the Pallone a Bracciale and Tamburello Museum and the Ethnographic Museum of the Uses and Customs of the People of Romagna.
