Tips

Verucchio Cammina

November 8, 2020

The famous defensive structure is located on the hill called Roccaccia, in an unparalleled natural setting. Or rather, what remains of the magnificent castle which was the birthplace of the noble Montefeltro family and which throughout the 16th century was addressed as impregnable. And it is this ancient walled village, now reduced to shreds, the real historical center of the territory, the real Montecopiolo.

The ruin of this mighty fortress, which it is good to remember was the basis for the incredible capture of San Leo by the troops of Federico da Montefeltro, was not inflicted by the enemy bombards, but rather by abandonment and by its closest relative: the neglect. It was in fact the seventeenth century, when the inhabitants began to move to the more comfortable valley. And with them they also brought stones and bricks, building material torn from the castle and reused in the construction of new homes.
