Gradara, Medieval fortress in Pesaro and Urbino Province, Italy
The Gradara Castle rises above its surroundings with two concentric walls stretching across 800 meters of fortified perimeter.
From the 11th to 15th centuries, the fortress witnessed conflicts between the Malatesta and Montefeltro families until the Sforza family gained control.
Dante Alighieri immortalized Gradara in his Divine Comedy through the tragic tale of Paolo and Francesca in the fifth canto of Inferno.
Located 6 kilometers from Gabicce Mare and Cattolica, Gradara maintains regular guided tours through its medieval structure and museum collections.
The fortress provides views extending to three distinct regions: San Marino Republic, the coast of Rimini, and the mountains of Carpegna.
