Montignano
Montignano is a picturesque hilltop hamlet of Senigallia, nestled between the greenery of the Marche hills and views of the Adriatic. The village retains the atmosphere of an ancient medieval core, characterized by narrow streets, stone houses, and evocative views that tell the story of the area’s thousand-year history.
Main attractions
Church of San Giovanni Battista: located in the heart of the village, the church dates back to the Middle Ages and was under the guidance of the monks of Chiaravalle Abbey. Rebuilt after the 1930 earthquake, it houses a precious Callido organ from 1770 and hosts religious and cultural events. The patronal feast of San Giovanni Battista, on June 28th, enlivens the town with processions and concerts by the local choir.
Torre Albani: outside the center, in a panoramic position after the cemetery, the tower was an ancient military garrison built by the Montefeltro family at the end of the fifteenth century to monitor the territory and the coast. Renovated and expanded in the 18th century by the Della Rovere family and later by the Ruspoli family, it still retains the charm of its historical sighting function today.
Montignano is an ideal stop for those who want to combine history, nature and breathtaking views, enjoying views of the surrounding hills and the Adriatic Sea.
