Bluvacanze: Fano

Fano Italy

It is as an Adriatic seaside resort with high quality beaches that Fano is best known and the reason that it attracts so many visitors during the summer and as a result it can become rather crowded. Enter the town via one of the main sights - the Arco di Augusto. This Roman arch unfortunately was deprived of its upper storey in the 15th century, when the town was besieged by Federico di Montefeltro, but the part that remains is still substantial. Your visit to Fano can start from the Porta Maggiore which is opposite the Arch of Augustus. This entrance was constructed at the time of enlargement of the city in 1227. In 1425, under Pandolfo III Malatesta (1389 ca-1427), the gate was reinforced by a tower. Currently, following restoration in the early 20th century, the front of the gate has two entrances - a driveway and a pedestrian entrance - and battlements. The bastion on the left of the gate is attributed to local architect Matteo Nuti, who began the restoration work in 1464.
