Gola di Furlo, or Furlo Gorge, now a state natural reserve, is the route by which the Romans constructed the Via Flaminia, a route for accessing their domain to the east of the Apennines. They carved this short tunnel by hand and constructed the road through the gorge, which hangs onto the cliffs over the Fiume Candigliano.
Here is a view of the gorge from the dirt road as we climbed to the top of the park.
We went to lunch at a gorgeous spot along the river where this little church stood next to a pizzeria.
Apparently the church was built earlier than 1440 AD.
Here are some gorgeous flowers I've been seeing everywhere but I don't know what they are...
The view from the top of the park.
The tallest asymmetrical mountain on the farthest horizon is the San Marino, the oldest republic in the world.
