Castel Sismondo & Fellini Museum
Castel Sismondo / Fellini Museum
A 15th-century castle of the Malatesta family which, together with the Palazzo del Fulgor, houses the Fellini Museum, recreating the master's cinematic world through immersive displays.
The castle was begun in 1437 by Sigismondo Malatesta, and its thick walls and towers remain intact. Since 2021 it has operated, together with the Palazzo del Fulgor cinema across the square (where scenes of Amarcord were filmed), as the Fellini Museum, with manuscripts, costumes, film clips and interactive installations. The Piazza Malatesta between the two venues features water mist and art installations. Tickets cost around 10 euros or more, and outside summer the museum is often closed on Mondays.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun, approx. 10:00–19:00; extended in summer, check official website
