Osimo, Medieval hilltop commune in Province of Ancona, Italy.

The streets of Osimo display numerous Renaissance palaces, Roman-era defensive walls, and the Romanesque Cathedral of San Leopardo standing at 265 meters elevation.

Greek colonists from Ancona established Vetus Auximum, which Romans transformed into a strategic fortress for northern Picenum settlement starting from 174 BCE.

The Teatro Nuova Fenice presents theatrical performances while the town hall exhibits Roman statues recovered from the ancient forum of Osimo.

The commune connects to Ancona through regular transportation services, with the Adriatic coast located 15 kilometers from the town center.

An underground network of tunnels beneath Osimo features mysterious decorations, inscriptions, and petroglyphs carved into the walls.
