Brisighella

Brisighella is a medieval town in the Province of Ravenna situated at about 115 meters elevation, crowned by three hills with medieval towers and the Rocca Manfrediana fortress. The settlement features stone buildings and narrow streets that follow the slopes of the terrain.

The settlement traces its origins to Roman times, when it was known as Castrum Brasichellae and served as a strategic defensive position. During the medieval period, it developed into an important fortified center in the Romagna region.

The town maintains agricultural traditions through regular markets in Piazza della Libertà, where local producers sell wines and olive oils from the surrounding countryside. These gatherings connect visitors with the rhythms of farming life in the region.

The railway station connects the village to Bologna and Ravenna, while accommodations range from agricultural estates to traditional hotels within walking distance. Plan your visit around market days to experience the town when it feels most alive.

The three medieval towers stand on separate hills and create a distinctive silhouette visible from many points across the surrounding countryside. This feature makes the village recognizable from afar and defines its visual character.
