The Castle of Gradara is one of the most fascinating and best preserved medieval strongholds in Italy, located in the Marche region, on the border with Romagna.
Gradara
Gradara is linked to one of the most famous and tragic love stories in Italian literature: that of Paolo and Francesca, immortalized by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy. Walking through its cobbled streets, you can admire the city walls, local craft shops and restaurants serving traditional Marche specialties. Gradara also offers spectacular panoramic views of the Adriatic coast and the surrounding hills.
