Qualto is a village with very old origins; its structure and architectural features are typically Medieval (XV century): stone buildings, sandstone roofs, architraves with inscriptions.
The house 'Ca' di Bastiano' has been recently restored, it has interesting architectural features and an architrave bears an inscription with date 1632. The church, dedicated to San Gregorio, has been recently restored as well.
Qualto rises in the vicinity of Madonna dei Fornelli, one of the stopping points for both the Via degli Dei (connecting Bologna and Florence) and the Via Mater Dei (a spiritual journey linking the most important Marian sanctuaries in the Bolognese Apennines): for all walkers with a bit of extra time, we recommend this small and charming detour.
