Romagna is rich in artistic and cultural treasures from various historical periods, which have left visible, extremely fascinating signs on this land.
Byzantine mosaics, the relics of the Borbones era, the medieval and renaissance libraries - these are just a few of the many incredible wonders of our land.
From pre-historical lake-dwelling civilizations to Etruscan and Gallic remains - there are many interesting archaeological sites that you can visit in this region.
In ancient Roman times Romagna became a land of great riches and prosperity, developing along the renowned Via Emilia and the Adriatic coast.
After the barbarian invasions, the eastern and western areas of the region were split into two separate territories - one falling under the Byzantine Empire, and the other under the Longobardic domination - thus prefiguring the current division between Emilia and Romagna.
At the end of the Middle Ages local ruling families slowly took over the region, like the Malatesta in Cesena, Forlì and Rimini, and the Da Polenta in Ravenna. They all left behind breathtaking historical traces of their passage, all of which are only a short drive away from Cesenatico.
