the roman FANO

Fano is a city rich in history and monuments, its history exceeds two thousand years of events, from the Augustan period to the modern age. With its 60,000 inhabitants, the city is the third center of the Marche region, after Ancona and Pesaro.
The coast is divided into the beaches of Lido and Saxony, both with low coasts, the first sandy, the second, as the name implies, gravel. Fano, formerly called Fanum Fortunae, owes its name to the goddess Fortuna. The Temple of the Goddess Fortuna was built in 207 BC. From the Ancient Romans, on the occasion of their victory against the Carthaginians in the battle fought along the banks of the Metauro River. The symbol of the city has always been the Arch of Augustus, which in Roman times was the main gateway to the city. Built around 9 AD. with squared blocks of white stone, originally from the quarries of Monte Nerone. The door is divided into three arches, two minor lateral and one major in the center, the base body of the monument is still well preserved and visible walking in the historic center. The upper part, which was divided into a pseudo-portico of Corinthian columns, has instead disappeared today. A reproduction of the original structure in its entirety can be observed in the Renaissance bas-relief present on the facade of the Church of San Domenico adjacent to the arch.
