CHIESA ARCIPRETALE DI SAN MARTINO
The church, overlooking the main square, was built in 1820 in neoclassical style on the ruins of a XI century romanic church.
CHIESA DI SAN MAURELIO
Wished by Alfonso Lavezzoli, this church was built in 1577 upon Giovan Battista Aleotti's design. In 1609 it became a Parish Church. According to the tradition, the church preserves the holy relics of Lavezzola's Patron Saint and of other saints.
CHIESA DI SAN PATRIZIO
The present church dates back to the XIX century, but it was built on the foundations of a more ancient one: indeed, the oldest documents about this church dates back to the XV century.
MONUMENTO ALLA LIBERTA' DI STAMPA
This monument celebrates the freedom of press and the underground press which was in action during the liberation of Italy at the end of World War II; underground press was an outstanding phenomenon during those historical events and a fundamental means to achieve freedom and liberate the country.
The monument is a printing machine similar to those used during the liberation days; behind the machine stand the plates of the news magazine and the Italian and European flags, which were the inspiration for those who fought for freedom.
MULINO DI SAN PATRIZIO - HISTORICAL MILL
The mill was built at the end of the XV century along the canal of the mills of Imola, which is the ancient canal that reclaimed the area and connected Imola with the port of Conselice.
PALAZZO COMUNALE - TOWN HALL
The townhall dates back to 1880 and was designed by Lorenzo Fontana.
PIAZZETTA GUARESCHI
This small square located in the historical town centre of Conselice was recently named after the writer Giovannino Guareschi (the author of Don Camillo and Peppone's stories). The square has been restored by the set designer Gino Pellegrini, who is renown for his top-level experience in the Hollywood cinema industry.
TORRE CIVICA
It is called "il campanile" (the belltower), but it's actually the municipal tower. Wished by Rodolfo Vacchi, it was built together with S.Martino church in 1830 upon the design of the architect Giuseppe Magistretti. Rebuilt in 1871, it is 36 meter high and houses a clock and S.Martino church bells. The project with original designs are preserved in the historical archive of the town.
