Cesena is located
in a strategical position halfway between the sea
and the hills, along the roman road Via Emilia.
Known for being the hometown to three Popes, the
town counts among its treasures the
Malatestian Library, one of the oldest libraries
in the world, and the extremely valuable miniated
manuscripts kept within it; the
Bonci Theatre; the Masini
Fountain, over which towers the imposing
fortress known as
Rocca Malatestiana; and the Santa
Maria del Monte Abbey, looking upon the
town from above.
The Benedictine of Santa Maria del Monte are specialised
in the restoration of ancient books.
Some of the nearby towns are also well worth a visit,
from
Bertinoro, well-known for its celebrated
wines, to the renowned thermal spa in Castrocaro
and Terra
del Sole.
In the summer the nearby seaside resort of Cesenatico
offers the chance to enjoy some evening shopping
in its characteristic street markets, the best known
being the "Mercatino dei Puffi" taking
place every Wednesday in Piazza delle Conserve.
