Bella Torre on the "top", can be reached with a beautiful "wall", quite short but satisfying to reach the top, with a view of the Romagna plain. Check the hours for the Tower, which is not always open. In the summer there are some very nice events / festivals

Located on the Oriolo dei Fichi hill is one of the most evocative viewpoints in the Faenza area, the Torre di Oriolo is what remains of the ancient castle and the medieval village. Built in the late 1400s, it has gone through the centuries and the numerous wars that involved it, the last of which was World War II, when it hosted about eighty civilians fleeing Faenza and was also chosen by the Germans as a territorial garrison.

Oriolo dei Fichi is a small inhabited nucleus located 9 km, at an altitude of 141 m. s.l.m. The historic core consists of a small village that includes the parish church dedicated to Sant'Apollinare (rebuilt in 1946), and a triangular square surrounded by houses that number about twenty residents.

The Faenza hills extend around the village and the ancient tower. Due to the particularity of the terrain and the climate of these slopes, wine is the most important production reality in the area.
