Rocca delle Caminate

In the hills, rebuilt in neo-medieval style, it was the summer residence of Benito Mussolini. Restored it is the seat of one of the 10 Technopolis of Emilia-Romagna. It hosts an annual re-enactment palio.

Reachable via roads and various paths from multiple directions, this pre-medieval attraction, still active, stands in the hills between Forlì, Predappio and Meldola and offers a suggestive panoramic view of its surroundings.
From the hamlet of Fiumana it can be reached in about 40 minutes on foot with a difference in altitude of about 280m

Studies carried out over time place the origin of the Rocca delle Caminate around the year 1000. It was probably built within a pre-existing village or on a Roman fortress. Some hypotheses concern the attribution of the name: the first connects it to the configuration of the walkway that accompanies the battlements of the upper perimeter, while another refers to the existence of rooms equipped with fireplaces or hearths. Certainly suggestive is that which derives the name from the existence in the area of ovens equipped with fireplaces to produce building lime starting from the limestone rock called "spungone". However, since 1177 the name Rigone Caminate appears in some documents.
