Camerino is set in the heart of a mountainous zone in the Province of Macerata. (in the Le Marche)
Located on a hill, it dominates the Camerino basin (bordered on the south by the Sibylline Mountains and to the north by Mount San Vicino)!
Camerino is just a few miles from the Sibylline Mountains National Park.
The town is on a ridge between 2 river valleys and is on the border between central Marche and Umbria.
They say that the old center has seen few changes over the last few centuries; thus, the architecture is quite impressive. Most of the town was built during the rule of the Da Varano family between the 14th and 16th centuries. |
|  | Panoramic and Picturesque Camerino We had a difficult time finding Camerino, but finally, a kind elderly man pointed us in the right direction.
It's obvious that it is a University city, even though its population is only about 7,000.
We parked our car in the car park in Palazzo delle Esposte, which is located by the lovely park. After visiting the park, we walked to the ancient center to find a hotel. We found a two-star hotel in the main Piazza Cavour for 50Euro! |
| | Unusual Architecture I noticed immediately that light brick was often used on the living quarters. The photo here was taken from our room at the hotel. It's a living quarters in the Piazza, and if you look carefully, you'll see the lovely mountains between buildings. Note, too, the tile roofs, the small balconies, and the European blinds. |

Looks like a wonderful place to visit. Loved the architecture, and esp. the frescoes at San Fillippo Church. I think I would particularly enjoy the festival to San Venanzio. Just dreaming... | misterrabbit Wed Jun 17, 2009 21:36 UTC
