GRADARA
Land of Francesca, land of love
The small town of Gradara is where the myth of Paolo and Francesca was born: an enchanting love story, a hymn to female heroism.
Known for its Malatestian Stronghold, typical example of medieval architecture, Gradara is today famous for the story of Paolo and Francesca in Dante’s poetry.
According to the legend, Paolo e Francesca da Polenta were killed by Gianciotto, Paolo’s brother and Francesca’s husband.
If love were to have a symbolic place, this would be the castle of Gradara, excellent medieval place where you can live history and a loving passion.
