Passo del Furlo

Panoramic and suggestive tour!

The Furlo Pass (also known as Gola del Furlo) is a gorge located in the Marche region of central Italy. This spectacular gorge is located along the ancient Via Flaminia, near the Candigliano river, a tributary of the Metauro.The Furlo gorge was formed between the Pietralata (889 m) and Paganuccio (976 m) mountains by the erosion of the Candigliano river. It has been included in a State Nature Reserve since 2001 and is often promoted to tourists in the region as the "Grand Canyon of Italy".The Roman emperor Vespasian had a tunnel built here to facilitate passage on the Via Flaminia at the narrowest point of the gorge. Next to it is a similar, but smaller tunnel dating back to Etruscan times. The Roman tunnel has a length of 38.30 meters and a height of 5.95 meters.
