Gradara

Distance 14km - 20 minutes

Less than 20 minutes by car from Pesaro, on the Adriatic Street you can see the small medieval village of Gradara, immersed in the hills and protected by high walls of the thirteenth century. It is a romantic place with an ancient flavour, where myth and history come together and tell us about the tragic love of Paolo and Francesca, sung by the great poets Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio and D'Annunzio.
Walking through its streets, it’s like diving back into history, especially in the evening, when the romantic setting combines with a wonderful landscape.
