Best of Fano city Highlights Private Guided Tour

Overview

Step into the heart of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance Fano on this private outdoor walking tour, led by a passionate local guide. This relaxed yet fascinating stroll through the historic center reveals centuries of stories, architecture, and hidden corners you’d never find on your own. We begin at the Arch of Augustus, the grand Roman gateway that has welcomed travelers for over 2,000 years. From there, we wander through cobbled streets to the roofless former Church of San Francesco, a hauntingly beautiful open-air site housing the Malatesta family tombs. Just around the corner, we admire the elegant exterior of the Pinacoteca San Domenico and the powerful Sangallo Bastion, a 16th-century fort designed to guard the coastline from invaders. Our path leads next to the Rocca Malatestiana, Fano’s mighty fortress, with its towering walls and deep moat that whisper tales of medieval intrigue. We finish in the lively Piazza XX Settembre, the social and cultural heart of the city.
