Meldola

Meldola is an Italian commune in the Province of Forlì-Cesena in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. The territory spreads across gentle hills, small villages, and farmland that characterize this rural corner of the country.

During the Middle Ages, the area became a contested territory between powerful noble families including Montefeltro, Ordelaffi, Malatesta, and the Doria Pamphilj dynasty. These rivalries shaped the region's development for centuries.

The Church of Madonna del Sasso, built in 1523, now hosts an Ecology Museum displaying the region's natural heritage and environmental history. Visitors can learn how the local landscape and its ecosystems have evolved over time.

The area is easily accessible with basic services including medical facilities, schools, and administrative offices for residents and visitors. Exploring the rural landscape and small villages works best on foot or by car, allowing you to move at your own pace through the countryside.

The Ponte dei Veneziani is a five-arch bridge dating to the early 16th century that crosses the territory and stands as an example of engineering from that era. This structure reveals how important trade routes and connections were to the local economy and daily life.
