Archeology in the Surroundings of Forlì

A trip across the Forlì region with its strong historic appeal is well worth the effort. Many finds have been made throughout the territory which must have been inhabited for 800,000 years. Lovers of live archeology should not miss, between Tredozio and Rocca San Casciano, the ancient church of Santa Maria in Castello housing in the parish church museum ceramic finds from the Bronze Age. Near Galeata, in the hamlet of Saetta, the excavations have brought to light the remains of what is believed to be the sumptuous late Roman villa of the Gothic king Theodoric, while the village of Pianetto hosts Mons. D. Mambrini Civic Museum containing archaeological relics from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages. Right in this area have been unearthed the remains of the Roman town of Mevaniola. Descending down the Bidente valley, do not forget to visit the Archeological Civic Museum housed in the Fortress of Forlimpopoli.
