Historic Traces in the Town Center

The historic center of Magliano di Tenna preserves medieval structures. These include large sections of the town wall and two of the six towers originally built. The Porta da Bora is an old fortified entrance to the castle of Magliano di Tenna; its original construction is dated approximately to the 13th century. The Torre da Sole is also known as the Torre del Sud and is, alongside the Porta da Bora, the second surviving tower of the fortifications of Magliano di Tenna that is still visible. The Torre da Bora is considered an important testament to the history of fortified architecture in the Marche region.

Churches, Art, and Rural Life

The Church of Madonna di Loreto is one of the attractions in Magliano di Tenna. The Church of San Gregorio Magno also stands in the old town; it was built in the 18th century on the remains of an earlier Farfa settlement. It preserves a fresco from the late 15th century attributed to Vincenzo Pagani. The Church of Madonna delle Grazie includes a 15th-century votive chapel with frescoes attributed to Pierpalma da Fermo.

The Church of San Filippo Neri also preserves a special historical detail: its funerary monument commemorates the architect Giovanbattista Carducci. The monument was executed in 1919 by the sculptor Salomoni based on Carducci’s design. In the Torrione on Piazza Gramsci, the Museo della Civiltà Contadina gives visitors an insight into rural work and life in the countryside.
