Holiday apartment in Bagnone between castle, borgo and museum

The upper part of Bagnone retains a typical medieval appearance. The Borgo della Repubblica, Bagnone's old central street, runs through the town centre. It is lined with civic buildings constructed from the 15th century onwards. Another important historical landmark is the Chiesa antica di San Nicolò al Castello, which was established as Bagnone's first parish church.

You can learn more about the local culture of remembrance at the Museo Archivio della Memoria. It is located in the Palazzo della Cultura on Piazza Marconi in Bagnone. The medieval Pontevecchio connects Bagnone Castle through the Santa Caterina gate with the walled borgo. Villa Quartieri is also one of the buildings in the historic centre associated with art, tradition and religious devotion. The so-called Castello di Iera is also located in the area around Bagnone. It is a defensive system probably of Byzantine origin, with three outer defensive rings whose traces are still visible.

Landscape and routes for summer and winter

The municipality of Bagnone is part of the Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano and the UNESCO MAB Reserve. These two designations give the landscape particular significance for visitors who want to experience nature not merely as a backdrop but as an essential part of their trip.
