Mondolfo, beautiful town in the province of Pesaro Urbino. It stands overlooking a pleasant hill as a balcony above the Adriatic Sea, in the further south part of the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, near the Cesano estuary.

In an area already inhabited since the Eneolithic, in the VI century a Byzantine Castle settled on the summit of the hill and around the XI century took place the encastellation of the small town. In order to escape the dangers of the valley, the population, in particular from the resort of St. Gervasio, took shelter on the hill of Mondolfo (the resort of St. Gervasio is situated in the south suburbs of Mondolfo, where there was an important monastery, of which remains only the superb Church with the biggest sarcophagus of the Marche, kept in the crypt). The Castle, characterized by fan streets along the sloping south side of the hill, with noble palaces and rich churches, following a continuous town-planning development, was fortified through the erection of 2 powerful town walls that, thanks to the intervention of the military architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini in the XV century, was going to be crowned with the invincible fortress, then felt by the new-born Savoy Italy. Not casual is the position of Mondolfo, strategically chosen at 144 meters above sea-level, just 2 km from the sea and a little farther from the Cesano estuary.

The Castle overlooks the coast and the seaside road that covers it; it’s a charge of the Cesano estuary; it keeps a check on the admittance to the whole valley; it watches over the near-by resort of San Costanzo and Stacciola. Here, from Belvedere, you can admire, towards east, the Adriatic Sea.

Mondolfo is located at an altitude of between 0 and 157 metres above sea level, and is a  fortified town above the sea, contained by a double structural curtain, as guardian of the Adriatic coast and the Cesano estuary, knew the encastellation around the year 1000. Linked at the beginning to the dynasty of Offo’s children - from which derives the name Mondolfo – and closed the period of an autochthonous lordship with the death of Rainaldo from Mondolfo, the Castle became one of the properties of Della Rovere, after the Malatesta domination and a period of direct subjection to the Church. Important town of the Duchy of Urbino, Mondolfo knew, in those years, great prosperity and welfare, with the building of noble palaces and churches rich in art, history and faith.  Thanks to the building of the railway on the coast near-by, desired by Pope Pio IX in 1846 and intensely supported by the town, the resort of Marotta could know a strong development so that it became the modern well-known resort of seaside holiday.


Mondolfo is situated on the hills between the Metauro and Cesano Valleys, just 4 km from the sea. The Cesano River marks, for a long tract, the boundary between the Province of Pesaro and Urbino and that of Ancona. It originates from the Mount Catria and its main tributaries are the Cinisco, that originates from the Mount Catria group, and the Torrente Nevola. The Cesano River flows into the Adriatic Sea, near Marotta. Along its course a riparian wet wood grows, with poplars and willows. The most ancient and thick hedges are made up of oak-trees, rural elm-trees, hawthorns, rose hip and plum trees. The Roverella is the typical kind of loakally growing oak : you can still find some great specimens, shed in the territory. This kind of oak is up to 25 m high and is characterized by a special kind of hairy leaves in the lower part, and by acorns, once used to nourish pigs and during periods of great famine, they were used also to make bread.
