Looking for a destination for summer 2022? Looking for a place where you can combine relaxation and culture? Pesaro is definitely for you. Located in the north of the Marche, capital of the province of Pesaro-Urbino and birthplace of the famous composer Gioacchino Rossi, Pesaro is also known as the “City of the Bicycle”, given the extensive network of bike paths that covers it.
Not only that. Pesaro is also an important seaside and industrial center, rich in archaeological finds that mix Roman, medieval and Renaissance style. Its location is also strategic: it is located between two hills, San Bartolo and Ardizio, and is the second most populated province of the region.
What to see in Pesaro
Among the things to see at Pesaro, is definitely the Piazzale della Libertà, a small park with a circular shape where there is a sculpture called “the Big Sphere”created by the artist Arnaldo Pomodoro in 1998 and symbolizing the union between man and nature.
Another thing to see is the Villino Ruggeri, an Art Nouveau building of 1902, while the Roman aspect of the city is fully embodied by the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, a church built by the union of two older churches. You can then continue with the Moscow Palace, the Civic Museums, the Art Gallery and the Museum of Ceramics.
