Gradara lies in the Marche, near Gabicce Mare, a few kilometres from the border with Emilia-Romagna (Cattolica). A stronghold of the Malatesta of Rimini, in the Middle Ages this small hill village played an important defensive role: as shown by its town walls and the imposing castle, built around 1150.

Good to know

  • The Castello di Gradara stands in an elevated position and covers around 800 m; it is therefore a large complex, topped by a 30 m keep.
  • The interiors of the Castello di Gradara hold fine furnishings and medieval frescoes and paintings.
  • The Castello di Gradara is famous as the setting for the love story of Paolo and Francesca, the pair of lovers immortalised in Dante's Divina Commedia.
