We’ve just returned from a week in Fano, Italy, where we were visiting my in-laws. We spent plenty of time at the seaside taking in the fresh sea air, but one of my favorite morning walks was around the city centre. At one point, we were in the main square, Piazza XX Settembre, and Little T dashed off in the direction of Corte Malatestiana, the courtyard of the Malatesta Palace (Palazzo di Malatesta).
The palace was the family residence of the Malatesta family that was in power from the end of the 12th century to about the mid-1400s, and today houses the Civic Museum and Art Gallery. We spent some time wandering around Corte Malatestiana, having a look at numerous ancient artefacts. Little T was especially in awe of the massive pot, bell and anchors.
It looks a lovely place to explore. I’ve never visited Italy
Thank you for linking up
The city center of Fano is lovely to explore and full of history, with many parts of the ancient Roman wall surrounding the city still intact. Thanks for stopping by and for hosting #MySundayPhoto!
That is definitely a great place to explore. I hope you had a wonderful time. xx
I’m glad that we ended up there as I wasn’t planning on it and I hope to go back for a proper look at the Museum and Art Gallery as what we saw around the courtyard was fascinating. Thanks for stopping by!
That is definitely a great place to explore. I hope you had a wonderful time. xx

Fano looks amazing. Love your photos, look at the size of that pot! Wonder what they did with that?? 🙂
I really wonder the same! Fano is lovely, I try to explore the city whenever we have a chance and Little T is enjoying it more each time. This was a lovely discovery! Thanks for stopping by!
Such a pretty place to explore especially for kids! I would definitely enjoy a day or 2 or 3 just exploring that place =) #mysundayphoto
It’s a lovely city, and there is a lot to see and do in the area, I definitely recommend visiting the Marche region in general! Thanks for stopping by!
