Saludecio
On the side of Malatesta Lordship's territory, hills have a gentle and stretched outline, perfect for building castles and towns where purposes of civil defense and development always co-existed. So it was Saludecio, that from year '500 to '800 became the most important town in this part of Conca Valley.
A small capital where elegant mansions and small houses created a popular and noble style, which remained intact until now. A large church, almost a cathedral, overlooks the square; the walls are surrounded by tree-lined streets and manicured gardens; internal streets come alive during the summer thanks to a series of celebrations and events famous in Emilia Romagna
A small capital where elegant mansions and small houses created a popular and noble style, which remained intact until now. A large church, almost a cathedral, overlooks the square; the walls are surrounded by tree-lined streets and manicured gardens; internal streets come alive during the summer thanks to a series of celebrations and events famous in Emilia Romagna
and Marche regions. Entering one of the oldest ports of the town is like discovering a special dimension.
Men settled on these hills since ancient times, because of the fertile land, good weather, easy living spaces, and last but not least the beauty.
Therefore it is common to find historic evidence dating back to roman and early medieval time, and it is also proved that here was born a rich, powerful town that managed to consolidate its role even after the defeat of Malatesta family. Saludecio was one of the main centers of the defensive line but also one of the most prosperous community.

Around the thirteenth century lived, in Saludecio, a character who brought fame to the town and in all the surrounding areas: Beato Amato Ronconi, very important religious figure in popular devotion. Like all the other castles in the area, Saludecio kept witnessing disputes between Malatesta and Montefeltro.
Construction works of a fortress and a large, strong wall, which remains harmoniously enclosed in the town center, took place during XIII, XIV, XV centuries. However the end of Malatesta domain does not mark the beginning of a decline, contrarily to what happened in other places: powerful families built fine

palaces, local intellectuals won great fame, a large church was built while in the year '800 the town grew by acquiring institutions that led Saludecio to be the capital of Conca Valley.
Today thanks to Saludecio's culture and tourism, knowledge and taste, the town confirmes itself as one of the most privileged places of Malatesta Lordship.
