Mercato Saraceno is a charming village along the banks of the Savio river. It was an important town thanks to its strategic position between the historic Via Emilia and the Tiber Valley. The historic center is worth a visit to see the frescoes of the town hall.

The historic center of Mercato, built on a 12th century settlement, stands on the left bank of the Savio river and is distributed over three alluvial terraces.
...
Mercato Saraceno was founded in the mid-1100s by a certain Saraceno, a member of the noble Onesti family from Ravenna.
Near the water mill that already existed in 1153, Saraceno degli Onesti wanted to create a market, on the open space near the river with the only bridge over the Savio between Cesena and Bagno di Romagna. The Saraceno market began on May 4th and lasted ten days and was so popular that it remained the only one in the valley even in the following centuries.

Remaining the dominion of the Papal State until the Napoleonic age, in the 19th century it became an important resource for sulfur extraction...

The center of the town consists of Piazza Mazzini, overlooked by the town hall and the church of Santa Maria Nuova. Just before there is Palazzo Dolcini, the former home of the Fascist movement and today a multi-purpose cultural centre. In the area, the parish churches of Santi Cosma e Damiano and Monte Sorbo are worth mentioning.
