モンタッポーネの洞窟・トップ5

Monteleone di Fermo is famous for its historic medieval center and panoramic hilltop location. Its most iconic monument is the irregular hexagonal tower (dating back to the 13th-14th centuries), the central element of the ancient castle walls.

Tradition claims that, around the year 1000, a captain of fortune, named Malleano or Majano, was the founder of the Castle. The ancient structure had six towers but now only two remain, one of which has a hexagonal plan. The circular layout of the fourteenth-century walls reproduces the atmosphere of the ancient historical center.

It is a hilly municipality of very ancient origins, located in the sub-Apennines of the Marche region, in the lower valley of the Tenna river. The toponym derives from the god Janus, to whom a temple was dedicated on the top of the town's hill, where Roman and pre-Roman finds were found. During the Middle Ages it was a castle that depended on Fermo. The historic centre, with its elliptical shape, has the characteristics of a medieval castle, of which the remains of the fortified walls, three towers and Porta Marina are still visible, once the only access to the castle, dating back to the fourteenth century but which was rebuilt in the form current in 1707

Also known as the "City of the Mediterranean diet", located on a hill at 411 m. above sea level, in an area of ancient Piceno and Roman settlement, as demonstrated by numerous and significant archaeological finds. The urban structure of Montegiorgio dates back to the Middle Ages, when the Benedictine monks settled there in the 9th century, welcoming the first inhabitants of Montegiorgio around the Church of Santa Maria Grande (the current San Francesco with Farfense Chapel) and the Convent. The center of Montegiorgio is positioned on a hilly relief. The city walls encompass the entire historic center which maintains some of the characteristic medieval streets; you can admire the remains of castle walls, with an access portal still equipped with a wooden door, and some narrow alleys on a human scale. There is currently a lot of post-earthquake consolidation work underway.
