Imola, a running place

For all Brazilians and Italians who love Formula 1 and for all Ayrton Senna fans scattered around the world, the city of Imola recalls a sad moment, but its beauty and many moments of other victories of this great champion, who died in 1994 in the Imola GP, makes us instantly return our smile.

Of a long history, the Roman Cornelli Forum, today Imola, will amaze you with its rich and extensive artistic and cultural heritage. Here is the very interesting Civic collection of ancient weapons and medieval ceramics housed by the Rocca, an imposing construction of the mid-13th century.
I recommend a tour around the city in search of the historian that is told symbolically for each historic building.

Don't forget to visit the Museum of the Risorgimento, the Science Museum, the Palazzo Sassatelli (Monsignani), the Church of San Domenico, the Palazzo della Volpe and the Diocesian Museum of Sacred Art (guest of the Bishop's Palace).

For Formula 1 lovers, every season there is the great Imola GP, just know the period and buy his ticket... May the best win!

Churches and places of worship

Cattedrale di San Cassiano

The Cathedral of San Cassiano was built between 1187 and 1271, and inside it, the remains of San Cassiano are preserved. Due to static problems, the building was rebuilt on a project by Cosimo Morelli in 1763. The current façade is also the result of the architect Morelli who designed it in 1850. Of great beauty we find above the altar the wooden Crucified Christ of the fifteenth century and some canvases such as “The Exaltation of the Cross” by Angelo Gottarelli.

Castles, palaces and mansions

Rocca Sforzesca

The Rocca Sforzesca was erected in the 13th century and is located in the historic center of Imola. The oldest parts such as the arched portal with pointed sixth, the terrace and one of the towers with a rectangular plan are still preserved. In the second half of the 15th century, some structures were added, including the gunships with emblems of the Sforza lordship and residential environments. Between the 16th and 20th century it was used as a prison. Currently, the interiors that preserve different materials from the time of the noble Milanese family can be visited.
