Province of Pesaro and Urbino
Province of Pesaro and Urbino, Administrative province in Marche, Italy.
Description
The Province of Pesaro and Urbino is an administrative division in the Marche region that stretches from the Adriatic coast to the Apennine foothills. The territory includes sandy beaches, river valleys and wooded ridges dotted with small towns and rural settlements.
History
The area was settled in ancient times and developed during the medieval period into a patchwork of small duchies and city-states. Much of the territory came under papal control in the 16th century before joining the unified Italian state in 1860.
Culture
This area takes its name from two historic centers that still shape local administration and daily routines across the territory. Many towns maintain old craft practices such as ceramics and furniture making that visitors can watch in small workshops along the streets.
Practical
Visitors can reach the area by following the coastal motorway or smaller country roads that wind through the hills and connect to inland villages. The best time to explore is between spring and early autumn when the weather is mild and the landscape shows green or golden tones.
Did you know?
Many villages maintain small libraries and archive rooms that hold old manuscripts and regional documents open to visitors. These collections tell stories of daily life in past centuries and display handwritten records from local families and guilds.
