Province of Forlì-Cesena, Administrative province in Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Description
The Province of Forlì-Cesena is an administrative division in Emilia-Romagna that includes 30 municipalities stretching from the Adriatic coast to the Tuscan Apennines. The territory covers varied landscapes with beaches, rolling hills, and wooded mountains.
History
Settlement in the area dates back to Roman times, when Forlì was founded in 188 BCE as a military outpost along the Via Aemilia. During the Middle Ages, the current town structures developed under the rule of different noble families.
Culture
The Malatestiana Library in Cesena retains its original fifteenth-century structure and displays one of the oldest preserved library halls in Europe. Visitors can observe the reading benches and chained books that convey Renaissance reading habits.
Practical
Coastal towns are suitable for summer beach visits, while mountain areas offer hiking opportunities during warmer months. Highway connections and regional trains make it easier to reach different towns within the province.
