Every city in Marche

From the capital to the smallest borghi.

AnconaThe capitalThe Adriatic capital curves around a great natural harbour beneath a headland crowned by its Romanesque-Byzantine cathedral, built on the foundations of a temple of Venus. By the water still stands the slender Arch of Trajan, a marble gift to the port from 115 AD.
Acqualagna
Amandola
Apiro
Arcevia
Arquata del Tronto
Ascoli PicenoBuilt almost entirely of pale travertine, Ascoli Piceno glows at dusk around the Piazza del Popolo, the elegant Palazzo dei Capitani on one side and the Liberty-era Caffè Meletti on the other. This is the home of olive all'ascolana, green olives stuffed with meat and fried.

Camerano
Camerino
Cantiano
Carpegna
Castelfidardo
Castelleone di Suasa
Castelsantangelo sul Nera
Cerreto d'Esi
Cessapalombo
Civitanova Marche
CorinaldoCrowning a hill above the Cesano valley, Corinaldo keeps the best-preserved set of medieval walls in Marche, a near-complete circuit punctuated by towers and gates that you can still walk along.
Cupra Marittima
FabrianoFor seven centuries Fabriano has made paper, and it was here, in the Middle Ages, that European watermarking was perfected. The craft still defines the town, which keeps a museum dedicated to paper and the watermark.
Falerone
FanoA lively port and beach town at the Adriatic end of the ancient Via Flaminia, Fano still passes beneath the Arch of Augustus, the Roman gate that marks the road's arrival. Its carnival is one of the oldest in Italy.
Fermignano
FermoA hill town gathered around a generous main piazza, Fermo hides its great wonder underground: the Roman Cisterns, thirty intact vaulted chambers built under Augustus to store the city's water, explored today by torchlight.
Fiastra
Fossombrone
Frontino
Gabicce Mare
Gagliole
GengaGenga guards the entrance to the Frasassi Caves, an underground world whose Abisso Ancona chamber is so vast it could swallow a cathedral, hung with giant stalagmites. Nearby, the little neoclassical Tempio del Valadier shelters inside a cliff grotto.
GradaraA double ring of walls protects this borgo and its Malatesta fortress, the stronghold where Dante set the doomed love of Paolo and Francesca in the fifth canto of the Inferno. The ramparts give long views toward the sea.
Grottammare
JesiRinged by intact medieval walls, Jesi was the birthplace of the emperor Frederick II, born in a tent in its main square in 1194. The surrounding hills produce Verdicchio, one of central Italy's finest and most ageworthy white wines.
LoretoOne of Catholicism's great pilgrimage destinations, this hilltop town is built around the Basilica della Santa Casa, which shelters the venerated Holy House of Nazareth within a marble screen carved by Bramante's circle, watched over by a Black Madonna.
MacerataThis warm brick hill town is famous for the Sferisterio, a vast neoclassical arena built for a ball game and now one of Italy's great open-air opera stages, its hundred-metre wall delivering near-perfect summer acoustics.
Matelica
Mondavio
Mondolfo
Monte Cavallo
Montefortino
Montegallo
Montemonaco
Numana
OffidaA small hill town devoted to lacemaking, Offida is known across Italy for its merletto a tombolo, the intricate bobbin lace worked by hand on cushions in doorways. Its winter carnival is among the region's most exuberant.
Pedaso
Pergola
PesaroA breezy seaside city with a wide sandy beach, Pesaro is above all the birthplace of Gioachino Rossini. The composer's house is now a museum, and each summer the Rossini Opera Festival fills the city with his music.
Piandimeleto
Pietrarubbia
Pieve Torina
Poggio San Vicino
Porto Recanati
Porto San Giorgio
Porto Sant'Elpidio
Potenza Picena
RecanatiThe hometown of the poet Giacomo Leopardi gave Italian literature one of its most loved lyrics. On the Colle dell'Infinito, the hedge and horizon that inspired his poem L'Infinito are still there to be walked, poetry made place.
San Benedetto del Tronto
San Ginesio
San Severino Marche
Sassoferrato
SenigalliaSenigallia made its name with the spiaggia di velluto, the velvet beach of soft, fine sand that draws summer crowds. Each August the town swings back to the 1940s for the Summer Jamboree, a festival of vintage music, dance, and style.
Serra San Quirico
Serra Sant'Abbondio
Sirolo
Tolentino
Trecastelli
UrbinoA UNESCO World Heritage city and the cradle of the Italian Renaissance ideal, Urbino is dominated by Federico da Montefeltro's twin-turreted Ducal Palace, home to the inlaid studiolo and Piero della Francesca's Flagellation. The painter Raphael was born within its walls.
Urbisaglia
Ussita
Valfornace
Visso
