Santarcangelo di Romagna
A hillside town near Rimini, beneath whose old town lie over a hundred mysterious tufa caves, with Romagna-style restaurants and wine cellars along its stone lanes.
The town preserves its Malatesta fortress, the Gangalanti Arch and its old city walls. The tufa caves beneath the town, whose age and purpose remain a mystery, can be entered on a guided tour. This is also the hometown of the poet Tonino Guerra, and the town has a fun Button Museum. Every July it hosts an international street theater festival. It is about 10 km from Rimini, around 10 minutes by train.
