Emilia Romagna Castles

An unconventional guest makes an appearance in the charming Cloister of San Paolo: the Grinch, with all his Christmas irreverence. His bizarre house opens its doors to curious visitors, welcoming them among upside-down trees, messy packages, and decidedly out-of-place decorations.

Inside the house, children can explore rooms full of funny finds, write a ‘mischievous’ letter, make green masks, or create ironic greeting cards.

On weekends, the Grinch—flanked by his faithful elf—roams the cloister for games, little pranks, and plenty of photo opportunities that will make the whole family smile.

An experience designed for those who love to experience Christmas with a touch of madness and a lot of lightheartedness, immersed in one of the most charming settings in the historic center.
