카스트로카로 테르메 E 테라 델 솔 최고의 러닝 경로

Varied, beautiful, scenically interesting ridge route that can be hiked even in challenging weather conditions.

It's a shame it can no longer be visited!

Historic building not open to visitors, the open garden at the back is very suggestive

The Castle of the Captain of the Artillery stands in the suggestive hilly landscape of the Tuscan-Romagnolo pre-Apennines, near the Castrocaro spa. It is part of the fortified city of Terra del Sole, a rare example of an ideal Renaissance city, built in 1564 by order of Cosimo I de’ Medici. The castle is excellently preserved and is considered one of the most beautiful in the area.

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.

Along the Strada vicinale di Mezza Collina, above the center of Castrocaro, you can enjoy a splendid view of a typical hilly and Romagna landscape. Here, in fact, you can walk or cycle among gullies and green meadows.

Always a characteristic panorama, it is worth the visit.

Climb to the castle of Monte Poggiolo on the Castrocaro side, easy and difficult at the same time, not too long and alternating stretches of false flat with steep sections of 15% or more, fortunately quite short, the asphalt was redone a few years ago and is good state. The landscape is typical of this area with fields cultivated with fruit of all types with a prevalence of vines. Unfortunately, the castle is private and in a state of decay, it cannot be visited and cannot even be approached anymore.
