very nice to do in company, but also alone!

A beautiful village to visit... silence pays off.

Still open and open to visitors, the Malatesta Castle of Longiano stands on a hillock 179 meters above sea level. Born as a military stronghold against Lombard incursions, over the centuries it has been transformed first into a noble residence, then into a municipal administrative headquarters and finally into the current museum of modern and contemporary art.

The historic center of Longiano, an excellently preserved village of medieval origins, surrounded by double walls, offers numerous historical and artistic testimonies ... Its origins probably date back to a period between the 7th and 8th centuries, when the population of the area moved from the plain to the hills, to find refuge from the Lombard incursions. Longiano reached its maximum splendor by becoming the residence of the Malatesta family. Subsequently it belonged to the Papal State, with a brief Venetian dominion evidenced by the monumental basin in the courtyard of the Castle. In 1790 it fell, like all of Romagna, under the sovereignty of Napoleon Bonaparte. During the Second World War the territory of Longiano, not far from the Gothic Line, suffered numerous damages due to the bombings of the Allies: the war shelter, which partly crosses the historic centre, remains as evidence of this. First of all, a visit to the Malatesta Castle and the treasures of the Balestra Foundation that are kept there is a must... ... The War Refuge, a tunnel dug into the rock, which crosses the historic centre... is a testimony to the dramatic days of the passage of the Front and the bombings which also heavily hit Longiano during the Second World War. The Petrella Theater is a nineteenth-century jewel, a typical example of Italian theatre, finely decorated and characterized by extraordinary acoustics and still very lively artistic activity. You can also visit interesting historic churches: the Sanctuary of the Holy Crucifix ... and the Collegiate Church of San Cristoforo, with masterpieces from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
