The terrain around Macerata is a sequence of cultivated hills between the Chienti and Potenza valleys, which has shaped both the city’s compact, elevated form and its agricultural surroundings. This provincial capital of Marche is distinguished by the Sferisterio, a 19th-century neoclassical arena that hosts the annual Macerata Opera Festival. The University of Macerata, founded in 1290, gives the historic centre a long academic tradition alongside its brick palaces, arcaded squares and churches.
