Walking along “Via Vittorio Emanuele II”, it is possible to reach “Felice Cavallotti” Square, punctuated by narrow terraced houses in late Medieval and 15th century style. This was the early inhabited centre of Gualtieri, whose houses surrounded the ancient Gothic church, now replaced by the current one.
The square also houses the Church of Sant’Andrea and the ancient Civic Well.
Palazzo Bentivoglio was built on the structure of an ancient castle. The complex consisted of a large quadrangular structure surrounded by deep moats at the four corners and included towers. The entire complex enclosed a large courtyard.
The gualtieri flood plain offers significant opportunities from the naturalistic point of view in the different seasons of the year. The territory enclosed between the master's embankment and the Po riverbed is very complex and diversified, including both naturalistic and anthropological aspects.
Constructed in 1769, it was designed at the end of the 16th century – during the Bentivoglio reclamation works - to replace the wooden bridge over the Crostolo stream.
