Fermo

The city extends across a hilltop at 319 meters elevation, with streets leading down to valleys and residential areas surrounding the central district.

Founded as Firmum Picenum in 264 BC, the settlement developed into a Latin colony and maintained strong connections with Rome through several centuries.

The Palazzo dei Priori contains substantial art collections and historical inscriptions that document the development of the region through different periods.

Local buses connect Fermo to neighboring cities in the Marche region, with regular services to the coastal town of Porto San Giorgio.

The Roman cisterns beneath the city form an intricate underground network, spanning multiple levels and featuring advanced water management systems.
