Another of the towns along the Via Flaminia, Costacciaro grew up around the medieval fortress built here by the ruling Urbino Counts to defend the zone from attack. These days, a popular holiday destination for hikers, horseback riders and cavers drawn to the adventures on Mt Cucco, the town has the pretty Chiesa di San Francesco with a stunning limestone façade, the imposing defensive tower of Il Rivellino, and the Torre Roccaccia, originally the town’s defensive tower. You can find out more about the local geography by visiting the Museo delle Grotte.
