Museo Diocesano Diocesi di Pesaro
About This Museum
You'd never guess that this treasure trove of sacred art is tucked away in the former residence of a 15th-century bishop. Stepping inside feels like uncovering a secret chapter of Pesaro's history, where every fresco and altarpiece has a story to tell. The atmosphere is intimate and hushed, a world away from the bustling modern city outside its walls. It’s less a formal museum and more a quiet conversation with the past.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning 'Pala di San Francesco' by Giovanni Antonio Bellinzoni da Pesaro, whose colors seem to glow. Don't miss the delicate processional crosses and ancient liturgical textiles that speak volumes about centuries of local devotion.
