The Ubaldinesca Fortress is an impressive masterpiece of the 15th-century military architecture by Giorgio Martini. The fortress is made of stones and bricks, strongly banked in order to make the attacks difficult. The fortress hosts the Pasquale Rotondi Award, who moved 10,000 Italian art masterpieces into the building to preserve them during the Second World War.

Mercatale Lake, located between the village of Mercatale and at the foot of the hill of the old town of Sassocorvaro, is an artificial lake originated by a dam that blocks the flow of the river Foglia.

The lake is a destination for rowers, fishermen and visitors, all looking for relaxation, tranquility and an ideal place for their picnics as a park with bar and restaurant is also available and open from April to October.

The varied offer which can be found by the lake is able to meet the needs of a large audience, with its well-maintained paths, shelters and benches, small sports facilities for beach volley, a children's play area, a  motorhome parking area and a small restaurant.

Swimming is permitted in a limited area where beach umbrellas, a trained and equipped lifeguard and boat rentals are also available.

Nature and gastronomy lovers can luxuriate in a walk along the lake and taste traditional dishes, including truffles, in the quality restaurants widespread in the area. Not to be missed in Sassocorvaro are the old town and the Ubaldinesca fortress which is home to the museum Arca dell'Arte (Ark of the Art), an exhibition of life-size replicas of the greatest painting masterpieces that in 1940, thanks to Pasquale Rotondi, found a secret refuge from the dangers of war.

The theatre was built inside the Sassocorvaro Fortress in 1475 by Francesc di Giorgio Martini, commissioned by Federico da Montefeltro. Ceased to perform its military function, the theatre was opened to the public only after 1860, when the fortress became part of the cultural heritage. The theatre has a particular structure: it does not have boxes, but only a wood mezzanine flanked by columns. The round arch was painted in 1885 by Enrico Mancini (1867-1913) with late-neoclassical figures and the prevalence of the colour blue, as well as the decoration overlooking the balcony, and the curtain. Unfortunately, painted decorations on the lower part of the walls were lost; today, the plaster wall is in one-colour.

Macerata Feltria, the Roman Pitinum Pisaurense, is nestled in a green valley on the border among the regions of the Marche, Romagna and Tuscany, in the heart of Montefeltro and it boasts a landscape of great beauty. Its geographical location, a moderate climate, natural and cultural resources and the richness of its thermal springs make it an ideal place for a full recovery of health and a complete relaxation. Not by chance, it belongs to the association of "The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy".

The Village is home to the eighteenth century Palazzo Antimi Clari, the beautiful Theatre "A. Battelli" of 1932 fully restored and operational, the nineteenth-century Parish Church of St. Michael the Archangel in which a precious Crucifix painted on wood by Carlo da Camerino in 1396 is preserved , and the Pitinum Thermae, the thermal First Level Super, where you can practice all types of spa sulfur treatments .

In the basement of the Church of Santa Chiara (thirteenth century) is a Museum of Industrial Archeology, which exposes equipment in perfect working order. 

Along the road leading to the castle you can find the Church of St. Francis, built in the fourteenth century and rebuilt in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with a Gothic portal and frescoes of the fifteenth century and also the remains of its ancient monastery, which now houses the Museum of Vintage Radio, the second public museum of antique radios in Italy. The Palace of the Podestà (twelfth century) houses the Civic Museum of Archaeology and Palaeontology.

Across the river stands the Castle (eleventh and fourtheenth centuries) with a pyramidal shape, placed on a hill and surrounded by walls, on the top of which stands the Torre Civica where palaeontological specimens are displayed. Near the southern entrance of the Castle is located the Arch of the Pelasgians, the mythical "Sea Peoples" of the pre-Hellenic Greece, founders of the town .

Along the road to Carpegna stands the Romanesque church of San Cassiano in Pitino near which you can see the excavations which have brought to light the remains of the Pitinum Pisaurense and in particular of an ancient Roman road. 

Among the most significant events in Macerata Feltria "Preziosi d'Epoca" (exhibition of old jewels and young stylists’ creations) in August and the Christmas event "Il Paese delle Meraviglie" ( Land of wonders).

Half- or whole day excursions are organized throughout the year by the Sasso Simone and Simoncello natural park, by bike, on foot,  walks with families and children, amongst the natural and cultural heritage of the park.

People will discover the most beautiful parts of the park, with its wide array of animals, handicrafts and culinary traditions. 

The Sanctuary of the Madonna del Faggio ( Beech tree) is in the municipality of Montecopiolo, within the Sasso Simone and Simoncello regional park.

According to the legend two young shepherds were helped by the miraculous intervention of the Madonna. They took the image down the village to honour her, but miraculously, the day after the image was found at the beech tree again. Therefore a sanctuary was built in that precise spot and for its small dimensions it was called “Hermitage of Holy Mary of the Cell”. In the 13^th century it already existed.

After World War Two works were carried out in order to widen it and they led to the destruction of the original building. A portico joining the entrance of the church and the hermitage was added. A wooden statue of the Madonna is in the sanctuary and it’s probably as old as the original cell.

In modern times the sanctuary is visited by pilgrims. On occasion of the festivities dedicated to the Madonna, there are two religious festivals on the first Sunday after 15^th August, with the traditional procession in the meadows near the sanctuary, and on 8^th September.
