Getting there:
by car: A14 Rimini Sud - Faenza, 63km, then Statale 302 for Florence, 12km.
by train: Rimini - Faenza, then Faenza - Brisighella with a pleasant ride through the woods along the line that leads to Florence.
Brisighella is 115 m above sea level.
Three peaks rise out of the selenite rock: on one peak there is the Clock Tower, on the second the fortress and on the third a Marian Sanctuary.
The village is very characteristic with curious constructions such as the Via degli Asini, a street with a raised arcade where mule caravans once passed on their way to the chalk pits.
Characteristic and of great appeal, the Medieval Festival, which takes place every year in June (www.festemedioevali.org)
Additional notes:
