Imola is a small town in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Northern Italy. It lies along the Santerno River, southeast of Bologna, and it’s famous for its ancient architectural places of interest, wonderful museums, and unforgettable landscape. The town is located strategically bordering the cities of Bologna, Ferrara, and Ravenna.
But, how come a small town like Imola became that famous? The answer is Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit, the former F1 circuit near the town. Due to the tragic death of Ayrton Senna, one of the famous F1 drivers, the circuit is no longer used and is now open as a tourist attraction. Another historical landmark in Imola is the Castelli Rocca Sforzesca di Imola, which is located in the central square of the town.
