Formerly called Mons Germanus, Monte Grimano Terme is located on a spur overlooking the Conca valley and, thanks to its 600 meters of altitude, offers pure air, a sweet and temperate climate and the relaxing atmosphere of the hilly landscapes. An ancient medieval castle, it played an important role in the disputes between the Montefeltro of Urbino, for whom it represented a defensive stronghold, and the Malatesta of Rimini.
