Description

The Central Way of Brisighella Italy is called "Via del Borgo" or "Via degli Asini - donkeys street" and it's a very special way. Probably the only example in the world of elevated street deck. It consists of halfmoon shape arches of different width. During the day light is provided from the sun that penetrates through these beautiful and particular windows, while the task to illuminate the night is in charge of suggestive twilight hot lights.
"Via degli asini" was builded in the twelfth century with Brisighella Italy, when it served as a bulwark defense against attacks of other cities. Here archers and soldiers were placed with the advantage of fighting from a great position. Subsequently, and it is here that took the name of "Way of the donkeys or donkeys street", was used by carters who lived in the nearby for the local transportation of plaster on the donkey back from the quarries situated in the adjacent valley. Today if you arrive to Brisighella Italy it is easy to identify the "way of donkeys". Don't miss the chance to visit it by foot and then go to the stairs up to the fortress.
