    Located on the hill of Oriolo dei Fichi, one of the most evocative panoramic points of the Faenza area, the Torre di Oriolo is what remains of the ancient castle and medieval village.

    Built at the end of the 1400s, it has gone through the centuries and the numerous wars that have 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. This made the ancient fortification the target of numerous grenade launches. However, it managed to resist thanks to the strong thickness of the perimeter walls.

    Since 2004, following a careful restoration, the Tower has been open to the public.
