History: Located in the center of the historical region called Montefeltro, close to Faggiola, Carpegna, Montecopiolo e San Paolo mountains, Montecerignone derives his name from "cerro" plant (turkey oak): Mons Cerignonus-ni, Mons Cerigno-onis. This village is built on a solid tuffaceous ridge and the Conca river (the ancient Crustumium) flows through the village.
Montecerignone preserve the XV century urbanistic structure being divided in two differnt zones: Castello and Borgo. The Castello, climbs to the Rocca, built in Xlll century by order of Montefeltro Counts.
Because of its strategic position, Montecerignone was conferred with the title of Land, and for a long time was seat of the only Montefeltro Law Court and of Feretrano commissary, whose sentences are preserved in the historic archives of the city hall.
The Rocca, summer haunting house of Federico da Montefeltro, designed by the famous senese architetc Francesco di Giorgio Martini, dominates the entire landscape and at the foot if it we find Palazzo Begni, of excellent renaissance manufacture, that frames the homonymous square.
Going down from Piazza Begni we met the parish church dedicated to San Biagio, the seventeenth century oratory of Madonna del Divino Soccorso and the monumental church of Santa Caterina, built at the end of XV century. In San Biagio church it is preserved a XII century precious Latin Cross. Tradition says that Crusades coming back from the Holy Land took with them a little fragment from Jesus Christ Cross; the ancient Santa Croce Fair, on the first sunday of May remember this episode.
In the heart of the village there is Piazza Clementina, where Giovanni Vincenzo Ganganelli, future Pope Clemente XIV was born.
The Borgo, once seat of market and carftman shop, is crossed by the Conca river.
Through a bridge you can reach Santa Maria in Reclauso church, built in XV century. Rimini Airport 40km - Ancona/Falconara Airport 100km |
