landmark
La Scarzuola
Surrealist 'ideal city' of stacked theatres, towers and esoteric symbols built by Milanese architect Tomaso Buzzi from 1958 inside a Franciscan convent's grounds. Deep in rural Umbria and visitable by reservation only, it feels like walking into a dream.

castle
San Leo
Fortress town on a sheer limestone crag in the Montefeltro, where the Renaissance rocca, prison of the alchemist Cagliostro: seems to grow from the rock itself. The single road in climbs through a cleft in the cliff.
