Since the sixth century B.C. Covignano Hill, full of woods and springs, was the seat of worship around the water sources, often considered curative. This is perhaps the case of Villa Ruffi votice ditch, whose materials can be found at the Museum of Rimini. The hill still retains the springs that feed the source Galvanina: artefacts recovered from the excavation of the ancient Roman fountain and accommodation, including vases, terracotta pipes, and a beautiful head of Roman Augustan age preserved in the small exhibition hall inside of Galvanina spa. Also around the hill slopes there are the water catchment supplying the city aqueduct (Monte La Cava).
