Montefiore Conca is one of Emilia-Romagna’s most evocative historic villages, located in the inland hills of the Province of Rimini, at around 15 and a half miles south of Rimini. It is close enough to the Adriatic coast to feel its influence, yet far enough inland to keep a quieter, more rural character. From the village, views stretch across rolling countryside toward the sea on clear days.
Settlement in Montefiore Conca dates back to the Middle Ages, when hilltop locations offered protection from raids and instability along the coast. By the 11th and 12th centuries, the village had developed as a fortified center, gradually growing around what would become its most prominent landmark: the Rocca Malatestiana.
