San Leo

San Leo, the historic capital of the Duchy of Montefeltro, is a town that, even at first glance, makes your eyes open wide: it stands on a spur of limestone rock, a natural fortress that over the centuries has represented a defence, the advantage of a strategic position, a resource for surviving enemy attacks. Here, even today, one can admire the fortress that towers above everything else: imposing, strong, seemingly invincible with its towers and parade ground. A tale written in stone that recounts the past and accompanies the visitor, step by step, through the events and atmospheres of local history. The famous and controversial Count of Cagliostro lived here: adventurer, esotericist and alchemist, he was condemned for heresy by the Catholic Church to life imprisonment and locked up in the fortress of San Leo.
