Amelia

The town spreads across a hilltop at 406 meters elevation, encircled by substantial limestone walls that stretch for 720 meters with four primary gates.

The Roman settlement of Ameria developed from an ancient hill fort, later incorporating underground cisterns built in the first century for water collection.

The Palio dei Colombi celebration occurs in late July through August, bringing together residents for traditional competitions and community activities.

The central Piazza del Duomo contains the cathedral and civic tower, serving as the main gathering point for local events and orientation.

The town maintains a partnership with the Association for Research into Crimes against Art, hosting professional development programs at Collegio Boccarini.
