Culture of Imola. Places to visit - old town, temples, theaters, museums and palaces

La Rocca Sforzesca di Imola (XIII secolo) Imola is a modest provincial city that, nevertheless, has some priceless architectural landmarks.

Rocca Sforzesca di Imola Castle is the main landmark and the timeless symbol of the city. The gorgeous building is located near the central square. The construction of the castle started yet in 1332.

Numerous ambushes and military actions couldn’t destroy Rocca Sforzesca di Imola Castle, so it has survived until the modern time and has kept its original look. At the beginning of the 20th century, the castle was transformed into a prison. Nowadays, the castle hosts the exhibition of the museum of history. Guests of the city should definitely not forget to visit Chiesa di San Domenico. This beautiful religious landmark was built in the middle of the 15th century. It is doubtlessly an authentic example of the Gothic style. While exploring the inner premises of the church, visitors can see an ancient portal that has been the main decoration of the church since its building.
San Casciano is considered the oldest building in the city. The construction of this landmark was finished at the beginning of the 11th century. During its long history, the church was rebuilt several times, but it still has managed to retain its original look. There is one more fabulous building not far from the church – an ancient library. The library was also converted into a museum that now mostly exhibits old books and manuscripts. Some artifacts are unique, and the age of some books is several centuries.
