Sant'Angelo in Vado is an enchanting village in the upper Val Metauro, set in an idyllic landscape.
Of medieval origins, the town was built on the ruins of the Roman Tiphernum Mataurense, an ancient town hall destroyed during the Gothic war (6th century). In the 9th century, it became the capital of Massa Trabaria, a forest province of the Papal State. Around the fifteenth century, it became part of the Duchy of Urbino. It shared its fate until the historic devolution of 1631, followed in 1636 by the evolution of the small town to the rank of city by the will of Pope Urban VIII.
The historic center is rich in monuments from various historical periods: from the fourteenth-century Palazzo Della Ragione, dominated by the contemporary Civic Tower, to the eighteenth-century Cathedral, from the ancient Palazzi Santinelli, Grifoni, Clavari, and Mercuri to the seventeenth-century Palazzo Fagnani.
Also worth a visit are the Church of Santa Caterina delle Bastarde, the Church of Santa Maria Extra Muros, and the Monastery of the Servants of Mary.
These constitute an enormous historical-artistic heritage.
The basement of Palazzo Mercuri exhibits documentation of essential craft activities, such as cabinet making, wood carving, goldsmithing, and wrought iron work.
Sant'Angelo in Vado is a romantic town where you can spend pleasant moments between history, art, culture, traditions, and delicacies.
