Start of the climb towards the ancient village

About 35 km from Rimini

Formerly called Mons Germanus, Monte Grimano Terme is located on a spur overlooking the Conca valley and, thanks to its 600 meters of altitude, offers pure air, a sweet and temperate climate and the relaxing atmosphere of the hilly landscapes. An ancient medieval castle, it played an important role in the disputes between the Montefeltro of Urbino, for whom it represented a defensive stronghold, and the Malatesta of Rimini.

Monte Cerignone, located at the beginning of the upper Conca valley, is home to a village and a castle of considerable historical importance. The visit to the castle, built in the 12th century, offers a fascinating immersion in history.

The construction of the castle took place by the family of Sigismondo Malatesta in the early 1300s and was disputed between the Malatesta and Montefeltro families in the battles for the acquisition of the territory. It was thus lost and reconquered five times, until Federico da Montefeltro finally conquered Tavoleto in 1458. Federico ordered the demolition of the castle and then rebuilt it under the work of the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini who finished it before 1474. In 1631 it became the direct domain of the Papacy, but in 1885 it was donated to the Lawyer Petrangolini at the same time as the assignment of the title of count and the subjugation of the surrounding territories. It was subsequently sold to a private individual who transformed it into a restaurant in the more recent 1960s and renovated it according to the standards of those years. The current owners instead purchased it with the intention of bringing it back to its origins. Today it is home to receptions and ceremonies.

Characteristic village square with sports bar, a must stop for cyclists and there is also a fountain
