Ruderi Castello Varano
Questi ruderi sono quanto ci resta di un fortino fatto edificare dai Da Varano di Camerino nel XIV secolo in località Vallecanto. Ospita all’interno la chiesetta di S. Margherita.
Palazzo Lazzarini
Il palazzo, del XIII secolo, fa da sfondo alla piazza del Comune ed è stato più volte trasformato per cui presenta una commistione di elementi originali insieme a quelli ricostruiti in stile neo-gotico.
All’interno del palazzo sono attualmente ospitati la Biblioteca comunale e la Pinacoteca civica.
Abbazia S. Paolo Apostolo
This is a Romanesque church. It has three naves and preserves a painting depicting the “Conversion of Saint Paul” by Baciccia.
Grotta dei Frati
This cave is of Karstic origin located at about 600 m. of altitude, where there is a peaked rock on the Fiastrone Gorges.
It had been inhabited by the Clareni monks for many centuries. Afterwards, these monks built a church and an aedicula as well.
Santuario del Beato Ugolino
Currently this church is the remains of an ancient Benedictine monastery named in honour of Saint John. Blessed Ugolino, son of the nobleman Magalotto IV,
was born in 1400 and, after becoming an orphan, he hermited away in this retreat. Inside this church 15th century frescoes featuring scenes from his life are still well preserved.
San Lorenzo al Lago
Facing Fiastra Lake, this church preserves many medieval frescoes, which are currently considered as the oldest wall decorations in the Marche region.
Castello dei Megalotti
These buildings, once the residence of the Podestà (name given to some high officials in Italy) and the General Council, were surrounded by mighty
walls with seven towers and a keep.
Between 1170 and 1259 it belonged to the fiefdom of the Magalotti, Counts of Fiastra, along with the Castles of Poggio, Macereto and Appennino.
