Ridracoli, the Dam and the Lake

This small village preserves a beautiful example of a humpbacked bridge which served an ancient palace, nowadays a hotel. In Ridracoli there is "Idro Museo delle Acque di Ridracoli", managed by Atlantide. Following the valley upwards, you can see on a summit the ruins of a medieval castle, and further on you can reach the imposing dam, completed in 1982 to provide energy and water to the Municipalities of Romagna plain.
Today the system is managed by "Romagna Acque". The basin of the dam, which flooded three small valleys, is framed by steep slopes carved by a number of little valleys, where arenaceous outcrops alternate with strips of land covered by trees.
