Tips
The oldest part of San Severino Marche, called "Castello al Monte", is easily recognizable thanks to the two towers that rise proudly on the hill with a slight inclination. The tallest tower is that of the Municipality, also known as "degli Smeducci" (a noble family from San Severino), while the other is the bell tower of the Duomo Vecchio. The Torre degli Smeducci, in addition to being a symbol of the city, was used to observe the territory and signal smoke and fire in case of danger. This exchange of codified information took place between the various castles in the area, allowing the population to be warned of any threats.
