Gradara

Places to see in one of Italy's most beautiful villages

Gradara, a village with an important history and a strategic position between Marche and Romagna. the castle overlooks the hill, with the sea on the horizon, and witnesses with its magnificence a past still alive in the village, the scene of an eternal love praised over the centuries by the great poet, Dante Alighieri.
then you have that village, where you can breathe tradition and authenticity’ in the small shops and historic inns.

Today, in this paradise suspended between past and present, poetry lives again and the atmosphere becomes magical, along the historic streets of the centre, on the panoramic walkways and in the ancient frescoed rooms. so many secret corners where wonder and mystery still intertwine and mingle.

Cross the gate through the Clock Tower and see for yourself!
