The Malatesta Library is one of the oldest monastic libraries and is perfectly preserved.

- Roman bridge (to Savignano sul Rubicone). The building, with three arches, crosses the Rubicon, a river of Roman memory linked to the enterprise of Julius Caesar. Scholars place it in the first century BC, even if a precise dating is not possible. It was built with large blocks of Istrian stone, not available in the area, which were then transported here from the quarries. Blown up by the retreating German army in 1944, it was rebuilt by reassembling the original stone blocks between 1963 and 1965.
