MUST SEE: FORTRESSES AND CASTLES ITINERARIES
SISMONDO CASTLE RIMINI
Being not only a military garrison but also a residence of the city governor the castle was inhabited since 1446, whereas the external bastions appeared later, after Sigismund’s death. In the present state the castle has lost its original look as is presented by the commemorable medal of Matteo de Pasti and by the fresco of Piero della Francesca in the Malatesta temple.

FORTRESS MALATESTA VALLE DEL CONCA
This fortress towers above the Valley of Conca and is part of defensive system of Malatesta. This fortress might be one of the most typical of Malatesta castles due to its round shape and irregular, almost surreal stairs – it is straight and facit, compact and crystal. No wonder that Giovanni Bellini was so much impressed by this fortress that he reproduced it at least on two of his pictures as a background.

FORTRESS MALATESTA SANTARCANGELO
Hystorical references to this fortres appeared at the end of the XIX century and they send us back to Federico Barbarossa, to the confrontation between Guelfi and Ghibellini, to the tragedy of Paolo and Francesca and to the long domination of Malatesta family (1248 – 1471). Actually, the fortress was reconstructed due to one of the members of Malatesta family – Sigismund Pandolfo (man of letters, warrior, architect). The work was finished in 1447 and the complex looks in the same way nowadays.
