Monte San Vito stands as a natural terrace over the Marche hills. It offers a fascinating mix of history, architecture and rural landscapes. The heart of the town is its historical centre, built in the Middle Ages; once, it was surrounded by ancient walls, today it is the perfect place to take a relaxing walk.
The focal point of the city life is Piazza del Comune, where Palazzo Malatesta, the most characteristic building of the town, stands. Close by it is Teatro la Fortuna, a small and fascinating theatre, proof of the cultural calling of the town.
Spirituality and art can be found in the churches, especially Collegiata di San Pietro Apostolo, with its refined paintings and decor. Exploring the town, you will find several vantage points over unforgettable landscapes; from here, you can admire the shape of the region, from the soft profiles of the Apennines to the vast expanse of the Adriatic Sea. The calm of the hill is connected with the liveliness of the seaside.
You do not want to miss the historical Oil Mill of Monte San Vito, a testament to peasant culture and the long tradition of oil production in town. The mill goes back to the 17th century and it is a rare example of farming-industrial archaeology, since it stayed whole through the centuries.
