Rabbi Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge over the Rabbi and the Via Del Partigiano are recent constructions, but the crossing of the river stretch in that strip of Forlì territory is already told in ancient documents...
... There is mention of a bridge in Vecchiazzano on the Libro Biscia of San Mercuriale in an act of 1196.
If nature was benevolent, it is the same artefact that the chronicler Giovanni di Mastro Pedrino will describe as having been overwhelmed by a flood of the Rabbi in 1433.
Antonio Ordelaffi had it built in wood in 1445 with the help of a certain Master Giacomo da Ferrara, but only 36 years later the "Elders" of Forlì had it rebuilt by Ludovico di Andrea da Lugo and Lorenzo Antonio known as "Malabestia".
In 1842 a great flood caused enormous damage to the wooden artifact and in 1860 the beautiful brick structure that we still see today was built.....
..... The bridge was the only one among those in Forlì to be saved, despite extensive damage, first from the Allied bombings and then from the German devastation, in the terrible moments of the Liberation which in Forlì bears the date of 9 November 1944.
During the restorations carried out by the Municipality starting from 2005, unexploded mines that the Nazis placed for its destruction were found under one span.
The mines remained at that site for over 60 years.
Today the beautiful nineteenth-century building, which can only be crossed on foot or on two wheels, is the symbol of the pedestrian path of the river embankment.....

Castle of the Captain of the Square

Highlight • Castle

Castle of the Governor or Captain of the Square

Seat of the customs officer after the disarmament of 1772, the Castle of the Governor or Captain of the Piazza is an integral part of the city-fortress of Terra del Sole and overlooks the Roman gate towards Forlì, one of the city entrances; it is characterized by an angled and stellar shape, like its "twin" that overlooks the other access door.

It includes the Captain's Quarter, the passage tunnel, the "night" and "rest" Guard Corps, the saltpetre, cannonballs and trestle trestles warehouse.

Publicly owned, it houses the Municipal Historical Archive in the mezzanine, which houses 1500 files including the acts of the court of first instance (which had its seat in the Palazzo Pretorio), the oldest document of which dates back to 1490. Here it is preserved almost for the entire criminal archive of the Tuscan Romagna Province, perhaps the most complete criminal archive in Italy. The "G. Rossini" Music School, the Choral Group, the Contrada di Borgo Romano and the Flag-wavers, Musicians and Men of Arms are located on the main floor.

Castle of the Captain of the Artillery

Highlight • Castle

The Castle of the Captain of the Artillery stands in the suggestive hilly landscape of the Tuscan-Romagnolo pre-Apennines, near the Castrocaro spa. It is part of the fortified city of Terra del Sole, a rare example of an ideal Renaissance city, built in 1564 by order of Cosimo I de’ Medici. The castle is excellently preserved and is considered one of the most beautiful in the area.
