Castelbellino combines the municipal “Alla scoperta del centro storico” route with neoclassical architecture, a river landscape, parks, expansive views, as well as the festive traditions and cuisine of the Marche region. Key places and themes include Villa Coppetti with the Museo Civico, the Loggetta Belvedere, the Parco di Villa Coppetti, the Esino, Parco Le Querce and the Parco Fluviale.

Municipal Route and Villa Coppetti

The municipal “Alla scoperta del centro storico” route has a recommended duration of 1–2 hours and is easy. It is suitable for visitors, families, groups and curious walkers.

Villa Coppetti and Museo Civico

Villa Coppetti features neoclassical architecture. The Museo Civico in the villa is temporarily closed due to maintenance work. It preserves historical, archaeological and artistic evidence from the municipality and the Vallesina area.

Loggetta Belvedere and Parco di Villa Coppetti

From the Loggetta Belvedere, the view extends over the hills of the Marche region to the sea. The Parco di Villa Coppetti offers views over hills, villages and fields. From there, the view stretches from Monte Catria via San Vicino to the profile of Conero. Thus, both the hills of the Marche region and individual landscape features of the region are visible from these two places.

Esino and Parco Le Querce

Along its course through Castelbellino, the Esino has riverside vegetation consisting of willows, poplars and reeds, which provides shelter for numerous bird species and small animals. Parco Le Querce lies on the southern edge of the Bosco delle Pianelle nature reserve and comprises oak forests, downy oaks, oriental hornbeams and Mediterranean maquis. Along the Esino, riverside plants therefore shape the natural environment, while various woodland and vegetation types come together in Parco Le Querce.

Parco Fluviale and Via dei Tesori

The Parco Fluviale in Castelbellino Stazione offers walking and cycling paths. The cycle path in the municipality of Castelbellino is called “Via dei Tesori”. Both names refer to the local infrastructure for getting around on foot and by bicycle.

Motorhome Site at the Parco Fluviale

Next to the Parco Fluviale in Castelbellino Stazione, there is a free motorhome site with a water supply point, waste disposal, toilet and washing facilities, as well as an electricity connection.

Accensione and Festa della Quercia

The Accensione dell'Albero Luminoso is an established tradition in Castelbellino. It takes place on the last Sunday in November in the Frazione Stazione. The Albero luminoso extends across the entire northern side of the Castelbellino hill and is described as the largest Christmas tree in the Marche region.

Dishes from the Marche Region

At the Festa della Quercia, stalls and food stands offer typical dishes from the culinary tradition of the Marche region.
