Marche Pictures Galleries to download
The presence of so many seaside resorts, often rich in artistic attractions, leads one to forget the countless other interesting places in the region. However, towards the hilly inland, lie various little towns as yet undiscovered by mass tourism in spite of their historical artistic and cultural importance (Urbino, Ascoli, Fano, Jesi); indeed, they are well worth including in delightful tours through gentle relaxing scenery like the evocative 'balconies' of the Marches: Cingoli, Recanati, Osimo.
Picturesque ancient villages are often found on hilltops, frequently dominated by an old castle or tower or surrounded by thick walls. From north to south, the first is S. Leo in Montefeltro, with its imposing 14th century fortress and the Romanesque parish church.
To the south stands Sassocorvaro with the Fortress of Ubaldini; further south Urbania and Fossombrone, with Renaissance buildings.
In the province of Ancona the first town one comes to is Sassoferrato, with its interesting medieval centre and Gothic church of St. Francis. On the way back to the coast from Sassoferrato, one passes through Cingoli, with its wonderful landscape and interesting urban structure; Recanati, Leopardi's hometown, Osimo and its beautiful brass font inside the Baptistry; Iesi with the Renaissance Palazzo della Signoria.
Further south, lies Fabriano, then Camerino, seat of an ancient University, Tolentino, with St. Nicholas's Basilica and outstanding frescoes.
In the province of Ascoli, one can visit Amandola; then heading towards the sea, reach Offida, with the Church of Santa Maria della Rocca; the little medieval town of Ripatransone, with the narrowest lane in Italy and Fermo with an imposing Romanesque-Gothic cathedral and the wonderful Piazza del Popolo.
Beautiful natural scenery is another attraction of the region.
