Museo delle Armi e delle Uniformi Militari
the Museum of Weapons and Military Uniforms is located in the ex-church of S. Biagio, locally known as “il Sacrario”. It was rebuilt by the Jesuits in 1771 on the site of a previous church which existed as far back as 1195. In the XIX century the building was requisitioned several times by the Municipality and used as a quarantine station during the various cholera epidemics. Later it became the property of the Giustiniani Bandini family who subsequently donated it to the Municipality. A war memorial was set up and opened on 28th September 1947 by the local section of the Combattenti e Reduci (Servicemen and veterans). A large garden was eventually made around the church. Over the last few years a decision was made to establish a permanent museum here to exhibit a series of objects from the wars (weapons, military uniforms and equipment that the servicemen from Urbisaglia brought back with them). The museum reminds the visitor of one of the most dramatic periods in Italian history.
Museo Archeologico Statale
The Archaeological Museum displays many finds from the area of the Roman town of Urbs Salvia: sculptures, inscriptions, amphoras, coins and important fragments of the Fasti Consulares and Triumphales.The Archaeological Park is considered the most significant site in Region Le Marche. The walking tour starts with a visit to the cisterns which supplied water to the town below. Just beneath the crown of the hill is the Theatre (the first quarter of the I century BC) built on the slope of the hill where Urbisaglia stands today. Lower down is the so-called Edificio a Nicchioni (building with large niches) which formed a picturesque link between the various levels of the town. At the foot of the hill lies the forum and the sacred area with a large temple probably dedicated to the goddess Salus Augusta surrounded by a cryptoporticus, underground arcade with well preserved frescoes in the III Pompeiian style with images connected to Augustan propoganda. On the other side of the Roman walls stands the amphitheatre (81-89 BC) built by Lucius Flavius Silva Nonius Bassus, conqueror of Masada.
