Holiday apartment in Orciano Di Pesaro: Frescoes, craftsmanship and cycling routes

Orciano Di Pesaro combines art, craftsmanship, cycling routes and culinary traditions. When you choose a holiday apartment in Orciano Di Pesaro, you can focus on what interests you most, whether that is frescoes, historic rooms, local production methods, cycling routes or regional specialities.

Fresco, tower and craftsmanship

In the Chiesa di Santa Maria Nuova, the Madonna del Parto is a fresco dating from 1515 that was retouched in 1848. The shaft of the Torre Malatestiana is incorporated into the left chapel at the eastern corner of the building.

In the historic centre of Orciano di Pesaro, the Museo della Corda e del Mattone is dedicated to the former local production of ropes, bricks and other brick products. The second room presents the rope-making tradition through tools, the complete machinery and rope samples of different types and for different uses.

The Museo della corda e degli antichi mestieri was created to preserve the historical memory of local traditions and economic activities that have shaped the appearance of the town over time. The brick room of the Museo della Corda e del Mattone displays historical and photographic documentation of the Fornace di Orciano together with finished products and objects made from them.

Palazzo and present-day cultural venue

In Montebello di Orciano, the Palazzo Roveresco – Palazzo dei Della Rovere – is one of the most significant examples of Roveresque architecture in the Provincia di Pesaro e Urbino. After it passed to the Della Rovere family, its piano nobile, the second floor, was restored in the 16th century. The rooms were decorated with stucco work and frescoes attributed to Federico Brandani and the Zuccari brothers, respectively.

In the square where the sculptor's birthplace once stood, the sculpture “Sole Deposto” by Giò Pomodoro adorns the site. The former Chiesa di Santa Caterina is now used as an auditorium.

Cycling routes in different directions

Two cycling routes lead in different directions. The official route “Di vino in vino tra le colline del Bianchello del Metauro” runs from Marotta via Orciano di Pesaro towards Sant’Ippolito. The route “Tra i colli della Valle del Cesano” begins in Orciano di Pesaro and runs over the hills of the Cesano and Tarugo valleys towards Mondavio. When choosing your accommodation, you can take these different directions into account when planning your holiday.

Mercato antico di San Rocco

At the “Mercato antico di San Rocco”, typical specialities such as Tacconi, Baccalà with potatoes, Maritozzi and meringues are presented in local venues and places serving food. The event is a historical re-enactment of the fair days that took place at the end of the 19th century in the Borgo between Valcesano and Valmetauro.

When choosing between a holiday apartment and a holiday house in Orciano Di Pesaro, you can use the character of your stay as your starting point: cultural discoveries, the local history of craftsmanship, one of the two cycling routes or the Mercato antico di San Rocco with its specialities. This allows you to align your accommodation choice with the interests of your travel group.
