Santʼarcangelo Di Romagna between Castle, Grottos and Crafts

Santʼarcangelo Di Romagna presents itself through several specific themes: a furnace model in the MUSAS, the structures of the Castello di Santarcangelo and the Rocca di Santarcangelo, underground grottos, a machine still used for fabric processing, as well as museums and a beach in the surrounding area. The visit can therefore be divided between the museum, castle, grottos, crafts and destinations in the surrounding area.

Culture with a Long Craft Tradition

In the MUSAS, Room 1 displays a true-to-scale reconstruction of a post-medieval furnace at a scale of 1:2. It illustrates the continuity of a tradition that goes back to furnaces widespread in the region since Roman times and has continued for almost two thousand years. The almost two thousand years refer to the tradition in the region, not to the time when the reconstruction was created. The 1:2 scale presents the reconstruction as a reduced model and preserves the furnace’s specific construction form in the museum room. The furnace model thus offers you an illustrative introduction to a very long regional craft tradition.

Castello and Rocca

The Castello di Santarcangelo has a square mastio and three polygonal towers at the corners of the building. The Rocca di Santarcangelo is reached via a bridge over the moat that leads directly into the restored courtyard. From the battlement walk at the top of the mastio of the Rocca di Santarcangelo, there is a wide view over Montefeltro. The castle therefore includes the square mastio, the polygonal towers, access over the moat and the view over Montefeltro.

Grottos with a Specific Starting Point

The tour of the underground grottos begins at the IAT-Pro-Loco office at Via Battisti 5, within the traffic-calmed zone of Santarcangelo. A guided visit to the public monumental grotto takes about 50 minutes. If you plan this aspect of your stay, you therefore have both a specific starting point and an approximate time frame. For your daily planning, the duration of about 50 minutes remains an estimate.

A Testimony to Fabric Processing

The Antica Stamperia Marchi also adds its own distinctive note. The Mangano machine dates from 1633 and is still used to process fabrics. The year 1633 and its current use connect a historic device with fabric processing that continues to this day. For this object, its use for fabric processing is explicitly not limited to the past.

Destinations in the Surrounding Area

In the surroundings of Santʼarcangelo Di Romagna are the Museo Casa Pascoli, a museum, the Palazzo del Poggiano, a palace, the Tesoro della Cattedrale, a museum, and the Museo Olimpico, a museum. Greta Benvenuti, a beach, is also located in the surrounding area. These destinations offer different thematic focuses: museums and a palace, as well as a beach as another point of reference for planning your trip.
