Restaurants Typical Products Services
The history of Pennabilly is rich and complex. Its name derives from the union
of the castle of Penna with that of Billi. The town was later enlarged and
fortified by the lords or Carpegna, the Malatestas and the Montefeltros. It
become a real "city" when it was chosen as the seat of the Montefeltro Diocese
during the 16th century as well as of many admi-nistrative institutions.
Pennabilli is still immersed in its medioeval atmosphere and there are numerous
testimonies of its glorious past in the original plan of the old town and the
old Gates: Porta Malatesta, Porta Carboni, Borgo S. Rocco, the Sanctuary Madonna
delle Grazie.
Right in the middle of the town the main square is surrounded by the Palazzo
della Regione, the 17th century Town Hall, the Merchants' Loggia and the
Cathedral. A remarkable artistic heritage collected from all the old abandoned
churches all over the Montefeltro region is now preserved in the Diocesan
Museum. It also contains numerous examples of sacred arts. Today Pennabilli's
most important event is the annual National Market Exhibition of Antiques, which
is of national importance and attracts crowds of visitors, who can also admire
many particular "inventions" like for instance the "Garden of forgotten fruits
and vegetables" and "the Street of the Meridians" the "Refuge of lost Madonnas"
and Begni Park.
Pennabilli is a convenient and well organized resort famous for its genuine
cookery and for the varied country itineraries: to Sasso Simone, to the
Simoncello, on Mount Carpegna, to Lake Andreuccio and for historical
itineraries: like the walk to the ancient Romanesque church delle Pantiere at
Ponte Messa or to the ruins of Scavolino Castle, to the Tower of Bascio and to
the Monastery of Maciano.
