Things to do in Portico e San Benedetto Italy – what to see attractions and activities

The construction of the Rocca dei Guidi began in 1021. The current structure, however, is due to the works carried out in the 13th century. It turns out to be one of the best preserved strongholds of the Guidi Counts, since it has intact the five-story keep and the imposing ramparts.

The headquarters of the Hydro Water Ecomuseum of Ridracoli is located in the village of Ridracoli near the dam. The Museum is divided into 6 exhibition halls: that of fauna, water, energy sources, the history of water and development, the naturalistic section. The collection is focused on the National Park of the Casentino Forests and finally the technological section dedicated to the construction of the dam. In the last room we find photographs and schematic panels on display that illustrate the construction of the dam.

The ruins of the Rocca Malatesta date back to the fourteenth century. In the Middle Ages it was among the highest fortresses in Romagna. Currently, only the ruins of the tower and the bastion are left.
