Museo della Lina Gotica Orientale

The Museo della Lina Gotica Orientale (Museum of the Eastern Gothic Line) in Montescudo presents the history of fighting on the eastern Gothic Line, the German line of fortifications established along the northern Apennine Mountains to oppose the Allied advance in 1944-45. It is located inside the preserved remains of the Church of Trivari, which was employed as a fortification and damaged in an engagement between German and British forces from September 12-16, 1944, during the Second Battle of Coriano.

The museum displays more than 150 physical artifacts from the fighting, including gas masks, helmets, guns, hand grenades, shells, shrapnel, anti-tank mine covers, and other military equipment. A collection of more than 200 photographs documents the events. The museum was inaugurated on September 7, 1991.
