Brisighella, village of the three hills

Municipality in the province of Ravenna, in Emilia Romagna, is located at 115 meters above sea level and has 7,500 inhabitants. Called the village of the three hills, it stands surrounded by green hills that are lost visibly. Three spikes of rock overlook the village: the hill of the clock tower, perhaps the most famous, can be reached via a path with 350 steps, the clock is from 1850 and the dial shows only six hours; the hill of the Manfredian fortress, always reachable by an uphill path, which can be visited, dates back to the fourteenth century, a great panorama, to visit the small museum and the dungeons; third and last hill, that of the Sanctuary of Monticino. In the historic center, on the other hand, the heart of the village is Piazza Marconi with its typical pastel-colored houses and the famous via degli asini, the first defensive bulwark and subsequently a path for the donkeys who transported chalk from the quarries to the town. Gastronomic excellences of the village are mushrooms and oil. To visit the Ugonia civic museum and the collegiate church of Saints Michael and John the Baptist.
