Fano is a town and comune of the province of Pesaro and Urbino in the Marche region of Italy. It is a beach resort 12 km southeast of Pesaro, located where the Via Flaminia reaches the Adriatic Sea. It is the third city in the region by population after Ancona and Pesaro.
1- Chiesa e Loggia di San Michele - Work on the church (now deconsacrated) was begun in 1494, and took masters from Como about 10 years to complete.


2- Palazzo Martinozzi - This was built by the nobleman Francesco Martinozzi when he was authorized to demolish the old church of San Maurizio to use the area in 1564.
