Top Attractions in Marches

Castelleone di Suasa

Castelleone di Suasa is a town and comune within the Province of Ancona, in the Marche region of Italy. It is well known for the archaeological park of Suasa, an ancient Roman town. Rising on a hill near the river Cesano, Castelleone di Suasa is also called "green town" because of its flourishing nursery activity. Below the medieval castle there are the remains of the Roman municipality of Suasa, that rose along the branch of the via Flaminia that led to Sena Gallica . Since 1987 the Archaeological Superintendence of the Regione of Marche, has started a programme of excavations that has allowed the discovery of the ancient basalt street, the commercial forum, two sepulchre areas, the amphitheatre and, above all, the rich patrician dwelling that has become Archaeological Park.

Suasa

Suasa was an ancient Roman town in what is now the comune of Castelleone di Suasa, Marche, Italy. It is located in the Pian Volpello locality, in the valley of the Cesano River. Suasa was founded by the Romans in the early 3rd century BC, after the Battle of Sentinum , in a territory inhabited by the Senones. The town was crossed by a secondary trait of the Via Flaminia and by the Via Salaria Gallica, which connected it to Forum Sempronii and Ostra. In 232 BC, it became a prefecture and, in the 1st century BC, a municipium. Suasa started to decline from the 3rd century; in 409, it was sacked by Alarich's Goths during his march against Rome . It was abandoned in the 6th century after the Gothic War, the population moving to nearby settlements. The remains have been axcavated by the University of Bologna since 1987. The edifices found include an amphitheater, a theater, the Coiedii domus, a late-Republican era domus, the cardo maximus and a necropolis. The Suasa archaeological park is an archaeological area in Castelleone di Suasa (province of Ancona, Marche, Italy). It includes the remains of the ancient town of Suasa, abandoned in the 6th century AD. The open-air museum of a Roman house (the Coiedii domus), of great interest because its size and architectonic complexity, can be visited in the park. The domus was inhabited over a long period, reaching its maximum splendour in the 2nd century AD. The mosaics discovered in the interior are splendid and are the most important unitary complex of the Marches. Mythological, floral, and geometric scenes can be admired, but above all, a magnificent marble floor created with over fifteen different kinds of stone. An avant-garde roofing and super-elevated passageways make the visit easily available. The large amphitheatre lies at the foot of the hill. During the summer season evocative theatrical performances are held there

Ponte della Concordia

The Ponte della Concordia, also referred to as the Ponte Diocleziano is an ancient Roman bridge over the river Metaurus in Fossombrone, Province of Pesaro and Urbino, region of Marche, Italy. The single arch bridge emerges from the ancient center of the Roman town of Forum Sempronii. The original bridge was built during the rule of Maximilian and Diocletian in 292. The name of Ponte della Concordia is new, assigned in 1964 by the Council of the Comune di Fossombrone. It had also been known as Ponte Vittorio Emanuele III, or Ponte sul Metauro. It is correspons to I114 in Colin O'Connor's Roman Bridges], Cambridge University Press, 1993. It connects Fossombrone with Borgo di Sant’Antonio. Destroyed during World War II, it was rebuilt in 1947, and had been previously rebuilt in 1782.

Treia Cathedral

Treia Cathedral, otherwise the Church of the Annunciation is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Treia, Macerata, Italy, dedicated to the Annunciation. It was formerly the seat of the bishop of Treia from the creation of the diocese of Treia in 1817 to its merging into the Diocese of San Severino in 1920, and following several other mergers is now a co-cathedral of the Diocese of Macerata-Tolentino-Recanati-Cingoli-Treia. The present structure, a re-building of a collegiate church, was erected between 1782 and 1814 to designs by the architect Andrea Vici. It has a Greek cross ground plan with three naves, divided by Corinthian columns and pilasters. It has an enormous crypt nine metres high. The cathedral contains some important works of art, among them, kept in the sacristy, a painting of the Apparition of the Virgin Mary to Corrado da Offida by Giacomo da Recanati. In the church itself is a bust of Pope Sixtus V by Bastiano Torrigiani.

Archaeological Park of Urbs Salvia

The Archaeological Park of Urbs Salvia is situated in the comune of Urbisaglia , in the Marches, Italy. It is the largest archaeological park in the region. The city, located in the V Regio Picenum, was founded as a colonia during the 2nd century BC. It was the birthplace of some leading figures of the Roman Empire, such as the consul Gaius Fufius Geminus and Lucius Flavius Silva Nonius Bassus. Urbs Salvia was sacked by the Visigoths in 408-10 AD, and suffered destruction over the years from earthquakes and plundering. The Archaeological Park of Urbs Salvia is exceptional on account of the ease with which the overall building plan can be deciphered. The itinerary starts at the Archaeological Museum which houses, among other things, epigraphs, statues and portraits that were excavated in Urbisaglia from the middle of the 18th century onwards. Just outside the medieval city walls, on the highest point of the site, you can find the large reservoir collecting and cleaning the water coming from the Roman Aqueduct of Urbs Salvia. It was formed by an underground vaulted conduit with lateral walls made of bricks . The ancient aqueduct ran under the top of this hill and was about 1.5 km long. It had a gentle and constant slope so that it could carry water from a spring situated at the opposite side of the present-day Urbisaglia into this structure. The cisterns consist of two barrel vaulted tunnels connected at both ends, with internal walls covered by hydraulic mortar. The whole structure was built in opus caementicium . Each tunnel was about 51 m long, 2.90 m wide and 4.10 m high and had a capacity of about 1,000 cubic metres of water. The reservoir provided the whole town with spring water and it was situated in the highest area inside Urbs Salvia so that it could be powered only by gravity. In the reservoir are still visible: the water outlet: the opening through which water was distributed to the town. The pipes were made of lead; the ventilation shafts : a series of openings in the vault for air exchange, check of level and quality of water and periodical maintenance (manual cleaning of the internal walls); the water inlet: whence water flowed inside. It is formed by one of the ends of the aqueduct and shows a very thick layer of water deposit (calcium carbonate); traces of the planks utilized to build the vaults are still visible at some parts. Proceeding downwards there is the imposing Roman Theatre, built in 23 AD, on the Hellenic model. The structure presents a cavea (auditorium) divided into three tiers of seats with entrances on the different levels. Around the cavea there is a corridor with steps running to the top, where there was a sacellum (small temple). Of the original stage the lower part of the walling is preserved; behind the stage, there is an artificial terrace which was framed by a colonnade supported by solid brick walling. Lower down is a niched building, a containment wall which is to be included in the whole urban context pivoting on an axis characterized by the Theatre – Forum – Temple. At the foot of the hill, conveniently placed alongside the Salaria Gallica (i.e. the main line of communication in the Picenum, here matching up with the Cardo Maximus of the town), was the sanctuary-complex. The main temple had a six-column facade. What remains of the original structure is part of the podium lacking the white limestone slabs with which it was originally paved. It was dedicated to the Salus Augusta (protector goddess of the Emperor), and was probably used for the imperial cult promoted by Tiberius, successor of Augustus. The temple is enclosed by a porticus made up of four underground galleries with frescoes in the 3rd Pompeiian style. The frescoes represent haunting animals, masks, and pictures connected with Augustus' political propaganda (trophies). Next to the main temple there is a smaller one. Behind it there is an area which was probably devoted to the ritual use of water, and behind the main temple there is a via munita, corresponding to the first East cardo. Just outside the city walls, there are two funeral monuments and the Amphitheatre, one of the best preserved examples of this type in the Marche region. The amphitheatre was built after the year 81 AD by the Urbisalvian Titus' military general Lucius Flavius Silva Nonius Bassus, who captured the Masada fortress in Palestine. The amphitheatre was used for gladiatorial contests and other entertainments. All its perimeter is preserved up to the first seating level, including the first level of the vomitoria (the exit-ways) and the bases of the pillars of the external corridor. In its original form it probably had three tiers of seats. The external wall of the cavea (auditorium) had a series of semicircular niches which later formed the supports of the stairs to the entrances on the upper floors. The arena is 59m long and 35m wide. The two entrances at the major axis of the elliptical amphitheatre were for the gladiators.
