Just a short journey from San Mauro Pascoli, Gradara offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable day trip. Perched on a hill between Romagna and the Marche region, this beautifully preserved medieval village is crowned by its impressive fortress, the Rocca di Gradara, one of the most evocative castles in Italy.

Within its ancient walls, cobbled streets, towers and ramparts tell stories of knights, noble families and legendary romances. According to tradition, it was here that Paolo and Francesca’s tragic love story — immortalised by Dante — unfolded.

Discover the medieval charm of Gradara with a unique guided visit of the historic centre, enriched by a welcome from characters in period costume who bring the village’s past vividly to life.
