Macerata, a city located in an area rich in history and culture surrounded by green unspoiled nature, it is one of the cities amp; agrave; which I love most in Italy. Also famous for the opera season in the original and evocative spheristerio held during the summer, Macerata joins the Association of Cities d' Art and Culture, thanks also to its more than numerous cultural artistic works of great importance.
In Macerata there is also one of the oldest universities in the world founded even in 1290.
A city that is now situated on a beautiful hill, it was originally founded in the plain below but when, in Roman times, it was besieged the inhabitants moved to hill where they built a new city.
Walking in the ancient city, I admire unbelievable the beautiful palaces of the 16th and 18th centuries that still shine with all their beauty. I begin the visit from the central square of the city, the hub of city life and where beautiful palaces of the 17th century overlook and then admire the Loggia dei Mercanti symbol of Macerata built in the 16th century by a genius of local architecture.
In particular, I was impressed with the clock tower erected in 1663. Hence the panorama that I admire is of an incomparable beauty. I walk away from the central square to enter and visit the interesting museum inside Palazzo Bonaccorsi. Finally, the cathedral of the city, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Mercy, with its wonderful frescoes to cover its walls and ceilings, left me a indelible memory.
