San Leo
San Leo is an ancient medieval village situated on the top of Mount Feliciano, one of the sheerest cliffs of the Apennines. It is named after Saint Lio, who chose this rock spur as his residence and a productive stone quarry. Since the third century, both the village and its fortress have become an important point of reference for the Christianization of Romagna. San Leo was the cause of fierce fighting between Goths and Byzantines, the capital of the Montefeltro and the ambitious aim of the French army headed by Napoleone Bonaparte. All over history, the fortress has stood out as one of the most inexpugnable bulwarks in the world. San Leo Castle cherishes interesting memorabilia and historical finds which offer visitors an insight into the medieval history of Romagna.
