Castello del Catajo
Italy

90 min

The Catajo Castle was built between 1570 and 1573 by the Obizzi family, who originated from France. Their intention was to build a palace that... would represent the glory of their family, mostly known as “soldiers of fortune”. No wonder the castle features a grand fresco of military victories and symbolic representations of government on the main floor. The palace itself is an opulent, peaceful and aristocratic home with a long boulevard that leads to the Giants Courtyard. The building is majestic, consisting of 350 rooms, and the most notable parts are the elephant fountain in front of the entrance, mighty staircases and a grand terrace, which is a sort of an open-air ballroom.

Caves of Osimo
Italy

75 min

Hidden under Osimo’s covered market is an exciting ancient system of caves and tunnels that were dug about 2,500 years ago by ancient people to... provide water and to survive. According to the visible marks the cave was further widened during the Middle Ages and today it covers an area of around 300 meters so can feel at times a bit disorienting. This extensive underground maze is full of fascinating figures and symbols depicting allegorical and demonic figures as well as emblems and epigraphs. The Caves of Osimo can be visited via a guided tour so booking in advance is recommended at http://www.osimoturismo.it/grotte-of-osimo/?lang=en
