Carpegna

Carpegna is a small commune in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino in the Marche region. It sits on a hilltop in the northern Apennines and features a compact historic village with traditional stone buildings and narrow streets.

The village has medieval origins and has been a mountain settlement in the Apennines for centuries. The name Carpegna is historically linked to the local feudal lordship of the area.

The village is difficult to explore due to small winding streets and requires patient walking on uneven ground. The best time to visit is during warmer months when conditions at higher elevations are more comfortable.

The village is crowned by an old fortress that gives the settlement its distinctive skyline. This fortification stands as a visible reminder of the defensive role the place held in regional history.
