Powerful architectures and rural landscape
Just overlook from the towers of the walls of Corinaldo as your look gazes upon that perfect fit and neatly combed sections with corrugated profiles and gentle slopes that has mesmerized artists and photographers. A landscape as a product of human work and the agricultural culture that for so long has been its custodian and still survives in folk tradition. To come and immerse in Corinaldo means to be able to immerse in these gentle hills: there are many possible routes, on foot or by bicycle, running through the countryside far and wide and allow everyone to experience the landscape with its rhythms, discovering precious gems along the way.
That is how is possible, for example, that the path of the Valley along the Cesano river allows you to admire the remains of the ancient Roman city of Suasa and the important site of Santa Maria in Portuno with its Antiquarium as it proves the oldest settlement in Corinaldo territory. Further along the way, you come across a collection of testimonies of rural life inside an ancient mill, right next to a trail that leads us to the observation of birds of prey in one of the places of passage of their migration in a pine forest.
