Monte Poggiolo is a hill near Forlì, with an altitude of 212 metres (692 ft) overlooking the valley of the Montone river. At the top of Monte Poggiolo stands a medieval fortress, known as the Rocca di Montepoggiolo, built in 1471 by the Florentine architect Giuliano da Maiano. The site is also important archaeologically for the discovery of thousands of Paleolithic artefacts, dating back to around 850,000 years ago, making them the oldest evidence of human habitation in Italy.
