Step back in time as you pass through the majestic Arch of Augustus, the ancient Roman gateway to Fano. Built in 9 A.D. under Emperor Augustus, this remarkably preserved monument once marked the end of the Via Flaminia.

Dominating the edge of Fano’s historic center, the Rocca Malatestiana is a striking 15th-century fortress built by the powerful Malatesta family. Its massive stone walls, corner towers, and deep moat tell a story of medieval power and defense.

A former 14th-century church, home to one of the most important art galleries in Fano.

Surrounded by historic buildings, Piazza XX Settembre features the elegant Fontana della Fortuna, the 19th-century Teatro della Fortuna, and cozy cafés

This roofless medieval church is one of Fano’s most unique sights. Dating back to the 13th century, it blends Gothic architecture with a mysterious, open-sky atmosphere. Inside, you'll find the famous Malatesta tombs—elegant Renaissance sculptures that honor one of Fano’s most powerful families.

Today, the bastion presents an impressive exterior—steep, scarped walls punctuated by a striking papal crest—while inside you’ll find a peaceful green courtyard often used for cultural events, concerts, and gatherings. It stands as both a guardian of the past and a vibrant venue for community life.
