The Agolanti castle is a fine example of a 14th century fortress. It can be reached with a short walk inside the park of the same name. An evocative and unusual place in the city of Riccione.

The Castello degli Agolanti or Tomba takes its name from the noble Florentine family in exile who had it built in the first half of the 14th century, probably on a pre-existing building. The building is described in documents of the time as a valuable fortification. Its history is linked to the Agolanti until the 18th century.

Due to its important strategic position, the building represented a privileged observation point and outpost, so much so that in 1743, on the orders of General Lobkowitz, it was transformed into the headquarters of the Austrian army.

Due to its important strategic position, the building constituted a privileged observation point, an outpost, so much so that in 1743 it was transformed into the headquarters of the Austrian army under the orders of General Lobkowitz. The municipal administration of Riccione carried out a significant renovation of the building, which has returned to new life as a cultural container while respecting its historical and environmental value.
