Macerata, Historic town in Marche region, Italy
Located between the Potenza and Chienti rivers, Macerata sits at 315 meters elevation on a hill overlooking the surrounding agricultural valleys.
The settlement emerged in the 10th century near the remains of Helvia Recina, a Roman town that fell to Visigothic forces in 408 AD.
The Sferisterio, a neoclassical amphitheater built in 1820, transforms into an open-air opera venue hosting performances during summer festivals.
The University of Macerata, established in 1290, maintains multiple faculties across the city center, serving approximately 13,000 students.
The Loggia dei Mercanti, constructed between 1485 and 1491, features distinct architectural elements that reflect the medieval trading history of Macerata.
