| POI BRIEF DESCRIPTION | |
| Description of the POI | One of the oldest buildings in Predappio, the church is very suggestive and represents one of the rare examples of Romanesque architecture in the Forlì valleys. Built in the twelfth century and made of large blocks of local stone, the so-called "spungon", it belonged to Augustinian monks dependent on the canons of Ravenna. The inside consists of one trussed nave with a semi-circular apse surmounted by four mullioned windows. Despite the passing of time, the church still contains interesting frescos among which the “Dance of the skeletons” or “Triumph of Death”, a medieval warning to the poor and the rich. |

| RELEVANT INFORMATION | |
| Type of tourist experience | It has been defined as one of the few pieces of Romanesque architectural evidence in the valleys of Forlì and is built of sandstone and porous limestone dating back to the 12th century. As much of the history of the church is linked to the nearby castle owned by the Calbolis, the so called Rocca D’Elmici, the suggested itinerary is to visit them together. |
