History and Culture
The town was even quoted by Dante Alighieri in his famous invective against some noble Romagna families.The history of the town encompasses two distinct periods: the direct and almost uninterrupted rule of the Church until 1403 and then that of Florence until the Unity of Italy, after a short Napoleonic period. Ruled by the Archbishops of Ravenna under the Papal State and by noble families of that time, such as the Ordelaffis and the Manfredis, the town of Castrocaro attempted for short periods to gain independence, but had to seek protection in the Papal state.
Under the Florentines Castrocaro were for a long time the chief town of Tuscan-Romagna provinces. After the construction of the nearby Medici town of Terra del Sole and the transfer of the administrative and judicial offices to the new town, Castrocaro lost in importance until 1830 when Professor Antonio Targioni Tozzetti brought to light the curative properties of the bromoiodide waters of Castrocaro which began to be used for treatment purposes. From that time on the name of Castrocaro is linked to the effectiveness of its thermal treatments.
Churches and Museums
St. Francis is the main church in the city.
Museum of Man and the Environment
The Museum of Man and the Environment has been completely reorganized and is now housed in 23 rooms and follows the environmental evolution of this land, the history of man's presence in this land, from prehistory to modern times. It has a varied collection of recollections from local craftsmen and farmers.
Historical buildings and monuments
The great castle on the rock has seen more than thirty thousand visitors in just three years, earning it a place in the list of the most visited castles in Emilia Romagna. It is considered to be one of the most important examples of medieval composite fortified architecture by the experts: its general state of abandon over the centuries saved it from structural changes. The vintage wine store of the Wine and Dine Route through the Hills of Forli and Cesena is housed in the same building, where you can find the best wines of the Route and get to know all the producers along the Route.
Dantesque plaque
This plaque is located on S. Nicolo parish church's external wall (on via Garibaldi side). Dante Alighieri was strongly convinced that Romagna at his times was corrupted; in Purgatorio's XIV canto he makes Guido del Duca violently lash out against noble families' degenerate sons in the Region.
Places of Interests
The Casa del Miracolo (the house of the miracle), where some sustain that Sant'Antonio da Padova made Jesus appear.
