Predappio Alta

Predappio Alta is a quaint medieval village characterized by an agglomeration of houses, cobblestone streets, narrow alleyways, the square (now Piazza Cavour), two churches, the Rocca, the ancient access door and an ancient wine cellar located under the restaurant Vecia Cantena d’la Pre’. The imponent Rocca (fortress) rises 247 meters. above sea level on a rock called spungone (natural conglomerate of pebbles and limestone siliceous concrete), on the first hills of Forlì. On opening days you can climb and get an aerial view.
Predappio Alta - Italy/Forlì/Emilia Romagna
Tourist experience: Overflowing with old-world romance and handsome medieval architecture, this delightful little spot seems made for meandering along time-worn cobbled lanes framed by blushing bougainvillea, feasting on sublime Sangiovese local wine, and watching the world go by in picturesque piazza where the sweetness of doing nothing reigns supreme. Though consisting of little more than a single street, this off-the-radar Emilia Romagna village is a showcase of Spungone stone architecture and remarkable historical monuments, with everything from Medieval Rocca to fabulous places to sip superlative wine.
