Civic archeological and paleontological museum

Macerata Feltria

Set in the 14th-century Palazzo del Podestà, the Civic Museum of Macerata Feltria hosts numerous archaeological finds that tell the story of Montefeltro from Prehistory to the Roman Age. The tour begins in the first hall where the prehistoric finds from surface collections are visible; next is the exhibit of prehistoric materials referring to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Ample space is devoted to the finds from the Roman city of Pitinum Pisaurense, diplayed here in rooms 3 and 4: epigraphs, coins, bronzes, objects of use, pottery, glass and architectural terracotta. Continuing the visit, one arrives in the room dedicated to the Medieval: some tombs discovered above the Decumanus Maximus of Pitino at the Medieval church of San Cassiano "in Pitino" are here reconstructed. Following is the room dedicated to inscribed bricks and tiles, and the one reserved for other ancient artifacts such as statues, clay statues, bronze objects, ceramics and votive offerings. The Civic Tower, where fossils collected in the Montefeltro and surrounding areas are located, concludes the tour.
