Castles in the hills

This itinerary runs through a particularly noble part of the Malatesta Seignory. The area, which borders with Montefeltro, consists of beautiful hills on which huge castles were built that, over the years, have become rich towns. To this day, there is an unusual atmosphere in the narrow streets and palaces of these well preserved old town centres.

Porta Marina, with its beautiful tower, is the fourteenth century entrance gate to the town and close by is the parish church of Saint Blaise that also houses the Sanctuary of the Blessed Amato and the Museum of Saludecio and the Blessed Amato. This large and extremely elegant church, which has rightly been called a “small cathedral”, is full of works of art and is famous for the veneration of the Blessed Amato Ronconi, an important local historical and religious figure. The beautiful museum that honours his memory is well worth visiting as it houses precious items of sacred art. Also worth visiting are Albini Palace, the Municipal Tower, Gerolimini church and convent, Montanara Gate, the Scented Gardens, the narrow streets with their murals and, in the nearby countryside, the fortified boroughs of Meleto and Cerreto.

Porta Marina, a fine example of imposing military architecture dating from the reign of Sigismondo Malatesta, leads directly into the heart of the village, or in other words, beautiful Piazza Maggiore, which is semi-circular and has a colonnade dating from 1800. The Rocca fortress, which now houses the town hall and other cultural institutions, is another well preserved example of fine military architecture from the Malatesta era. The Palaeontological Museum houses extremely rare local fossils and the Renaissance majolica collection is particularly worth visiting. Visitors should also not miss the church of Saint Michael Archangel, which houses beautiful paintings and decorated antependia, and the Convent of the Poor Clare’s, although unfortunately the latter is now only open on special occasions. The narrow streets of the old town centre also deserve particular attention.

The entire old centre is worth seeing, in particular the entrance gate, which has a beautiful tower and the remains of a drawbridge. The village’s most important buildings include the Municipal Palace and Viviani Palace, which now houses an elegant hotel and restaurant. Finally, visitors should not miss Saint Rocco’s Church, which dates from the 14th century and houses several ancient works of art, and St. Peter’s Church.

played a very important role in the valley between 1500 and 1800. Evidence of this still remains in the beautiful urban layout of this town, which develops along the peaks of a hillside. The centre is a web of narrow streets that run alongside and cross the elegant main street, and the churches, palaces and small houses in the borough create a feeling of order and harmony.
