The main civil architectures are gathered in the Piazza del Comune, which has always been the center of city life. It is overlooked by the Palazzo del Podestà, a typical medieval public building peculiar for its bridge type, erected in 1255, entirely in white stone from Vallemontagnana. To the side is the Palazzo del Comune, dating back to around 1350, but rebuilt in 1690, corresponding to the ancient residence of the Chiavelli, lords of the city until 1435. It preserves the cross vaulted hall from the 14th century and, in the courtyard, the lapidarium with epigraphs and stones from the Roman municipalities of Attidium (Attiggio), Tuficum (Borgo Tufico) and Sentinum (Sassoferrato). On the other side, under the small hill on which the Cathedral stands, is the Bishop's Palace, erected as Palazzo dei Priori but rebuilt between 1546 and 1549 following the collapse of the adjacent Civic Tower.

The first paper mill on European soil was founded in 1276 in Fabriano, then part of the Papal States. The history of paper production is very exciting and clearly documented in the paper and watermark museum.
