Archaeological and Palaeontological Museum

The museum’s eight rooms form a journey through time, in a narrative that begins in Prehistory and leads through to the Middle Ages.

Flint, bronze, and iron artefacts tell the story of the earliest inhabitants of these lands, while the Roman town of Pitinum Pisaurense is brought back to life through inscriptions, coins, and everyday objects which create an image of a lively and industrious centre, the beating heart of Montefeltro for centuries. Time then shifts to the Middle Ages: tombs, majolica pottery, and other artefacts evoke life in Macerata Feltria castle, telling tales of faith, work, and community.

 The tour culminates in the evocative 13th-century Civic Tower, where the fossils on display reflect the patience of nature and the slow pace of transformation. As you climb the storeys, the panorama opens over the whole valley, a view where the wonder of science meets the poetry of the landscape. A scene where the past is always visible, creating a sense of a deep bond with the land of Montefeltro.
