Museo Diocesano di Pesaro and its collection

The Museo Diocesano di Pesaro is housed in the Seminary building, which was constructed in 1788 by architects Gianandrea Lazzarini and Giovanni Antinori. The museum is conveniently located opposite the cathedral of the city of Pesaro, making it easily accessible for visitors.

Layout of the Museo Diocesano di Pesaro

The Museo Diocesano di Pesaro is divided into six large rooms, spread across the ground floor and the ancient basements of the building. The museum is organized into two sections: the first section is of an archaeological nature, consisting of three rooms, and the second section is of a historical-cultural type, consisting of six rooms. The presence of religious artifacts is particularly prominent in the museum.
