Just 18 km from Imola, Fontanelice is one of the most verdant parts of the Santerno Valley. The medieval urban layout is still evident. At its centre lies Piazza Roma, where the former town hall overlooks the historic fountain, the settlement’s symbol.
Fontanelice lies on the banks of the River Santerno, a place of natural beauty that is hugely popular with people in the town and the surrounding area. With its tall trees, avenues and gardens, the town centre is a delight, while the surrounding hills are perfect for trekking and cycling. Here, the river coils past the magnificent cliffs of the Riva dei Cavalli, one of the geological wonders of the Vena del Gesso Romagnola Regional Park.
