Fano city walls

The stone fortification walls of Fano extend around the historical center, featuring multiple gates and architectural elements from different construction periods throughout time.

The initial walls were constructed during the Roman period when Julius Caesar established Fanum Fortunae in 49 BC, with later expansions by Augustus.

The walls incorporate the Arco d'Augusto, the main entrance gate to Fano's center, which stands as a testament to Roman engineering methods.

Visitors can walk along Via Arco d'Augusto to reach the entrance points of the ancient fortification and explore the surrounding historical district.

The walls display a combination of Roman and medieval construction techniques, with sections featuring both ancient stone blocks and later medieval additions.
