Fano

Among the cities of Marche, Fano stands out for its Roman origins and Adriatic waterfront. Known in antiquity as Fanum Fortunae, it developed around a sanctuary dedicated to Fortuna and became an important stop on the Via Flaminia, the road linking Rome with the coast. The Arch of Augustus, erected in 9 CE, remains a defining monument at the entrance to the historic centre. Fano also lies near the mouth of the Metauro River, while its working harbour and beaches give the town a distinctly maritime rhythm.
