GEMMANO
The most uncontaminated and singular nature of the Malatesta Lordship can be found in Gemmano and in the lands that lie at the foot of it. And as if that weren't enough, there are the Onferno Caves and the Nature Reserve that surrounds them: a unique heritage in the Rimini area.

MONDAINO
Fortified walls and gates, a powerful fortress and the whole structure of the town tell us about this past that every year relives in one of the most accurate and engaging historical re-enactments of the entire Lordship. Mondaino remains one of the main towns in the valley for its beautiful nineteenth-century semicircular square, some noble buildings and its architecture.

MONTESCUDO
We are in the middle part of Valconca, on the borders of the Malatesta Lordship towards the Republic of San Marino and towards Montefeltro. We are on a ridge that divides the Rimini plain from the road that leads to the first Apennine mountains, dominated in this area by Mount Carpegna. Montescudo was therefore an absolutely strategic point for the control of the territory. Sigismondo Pandolfo wanted to build a strong fortress here in 1460 to shield the city of Rimini.

A few kilometers from the coast, in the immediate hinterland, the beautiful valleys of the Conca and Marecchia rivers stretch out. Where the gaze can sweep over the green hills and the numerous historical and artistic testimonies of which villages and towns are rich.

The fortresses and fortresses that meet at every corner tell of this turbulent past.
