Terra del Sole, founded on 8 December 1564 at the behest of Cosimo I de' Medici, was the last fortress with an administrative, military, judicial and religious centre in Tuscan Romagna. The square is overlooked by a building, a classic example of Renaissance architecture, whose functions were to be the residence of the Grand Ducal Commissioner and the seat of the civil and criminal courts.
Today, Palazzo Pretorio houses the Museo dell'Uomo e dell'Ambiente (Museum of Man and the Environment), which can be visited along two routes: the first is purely historical-architectural, while the second is aimed at an in-depth study of ethno-anthropological and territorial aspects.
