About Gola del Furlo
The gorge or Furlo pass is a gorge located between Mount Pietralata and Mount Paganuccio, created by the erosive force of the Candigliano river, a tributary of the Metauro. Over the millennia it has reached a considerable depth, which however is no longer visible due to the dam, built-in 1922, which reduced the impetuous stream to a placid lake. It is located in the province of Pesaro-Urbino in the territory of the municipalities of Fermignano, Fossombrone, Cagli, and Acqualagna.Address : Pianacce, 1, 61041 Furlo PU, Italy

Marmitte dei GigantiThe potholes of the giants are deep pit-shaped depressions in the rocks, which arise from river erosion in locations that were covered by glaciers. The potholes of the giants were formed with the melting waters of the glaciers, which flowed through the crevasses and especially the glacial mills. The largest "potholes of the giants" are found, by their very nature, where large glaciers are or were.
Palazzo Ducale di UrbinoThe Ducal Palace of Urbino is one of the most interesting architectural and artistic examples of the entire Italian Renaissance and is home to the National Gallery of the Marche. The building, owned by the Italian State, is located in the center of the historic village of Urbino, flanked by other monuments such as the cathedral and the Sanzio Theater. It is one of the most visited monuments in the region and is the site of museums, musical and artistic events.
Galleria Nazionale delle MarcheThe National Gallery of the Marche is an Italian state museum based in the Ducal Palace of Urbino. Its collections derive largely from works collected in the nineteenth century from churches and convents in the Marche region ; relatively few are the works of the ducal collections, which have been lost over the centuries. The most famous section is linked to the Urbino Renaissance, with two works by Piero della Francesca and others by the artists of the court of Federico da Montefeltro.
Cattedrale di Santa Maria AssuntaThe cathedral of Urbino is the main church of the city and the cathedral of the archdiocese of Urbino-Urbania-Sant'Angelo in Vado. It has remained similar in size to the previous Renaissance cathedral, demolished by the earthquake of 1789, and has been rebuilt in a neoclassical style; it measures 64.5 m in length, 36.8 m in width, and 50 m in height. It is dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. In November 1950, Pope Pius XII elevated it to the dignity of a minor basilica.
Oratorio di San Giovanni BattistaThe oratory of San Giovanni Battista, Sant'Antonio Abate and San Giacomo Apostolo is located in Urbino in via Barocci , under the Albornoz fortress, and is one of the main city monuments. The external façade underwent a radical restoration in the neo - Gothic style at the beginning of the 20th century, based on a project by Diomede Catalucci.
