Fano: A Journey Through Time

Fano is a city that treasures over two thousand years of history. From the Roman era, with the Arch of Augustus and the ancient walls, to the medieval splendour of the Malatesta family, and from the elegance of the Renaissance to the masterpieces of the Baroque, every corner tells a different chapter. Strolling through the historic centre means crossing centuries of art, culture, and tradition.

Events such as Fano dei Cesari and the Nights of the Museums offer immersive experiences to bring history to life.
