Fortress of San Leo

28.07.2003 - Historical highlight of the region with traditional village center. False view, imposing structure, a visit worthwhile.

The famous Dante already had great words for the small town of San Leo near the dwarf state of San Marino in his “Divine Comedy”. Thanks to its exceptional attractiveness, the municipality in the Emilia-Romagna region has often served as a film set. Not only has San Leo been named one of the most beautiful villages in the country, but it has also been awarded a seal of quality by the Italian Touring Club. No wonder that the town on the bizarre rock formation is a real visitor magnet. The buildings of San Leo are extremely remarkable, both artistically and architecturally.

When we visited, in the summer of 2023, preparations were being made for a wedding at the castle, it is very romantic to get married in this beautiful place.
