Terre Roveresche is a town council established by Marche Regional Government under the law n. 28 dated 12 July 2016. It includes the former municipalities of Barchi, Orciano of Pesaro, Piagge and San Giorgio di Pesaro. The four municipalities have now become municipal capitals. The  chief seat of Terre Roveresche is located in Orciano di Pesaro. Barchi is the smallest municipal capital; its historic center is very interesting: it was designed in the sixteenth century by the architect Filippo Terzi. Orciano di Pesaro was ruled by Malatesta and Della Rovere Lords: they allowed the construction of the Tower overlooking the old town and the church of Santa Maria Novella, one of the most beautiful Renaissance buildings of the region. The tower was later added to the chruch thanks to a project made by Baccio Pontelli; the church was also embellished with stucco work by Brandani and the splendid portal attributed to Raphael. Piagge is the northernmost town and the closest to the sea. It's the oldest municipal capital as it dates back to Roman times; its name was "Lubacaria". The village retains the old embankment wall that encloses the castle, partially covered by some buildings on which stands the Clock Tower. San Giorgio di Pesaro is the second largest municipal capital and stretches between Piagge and Orciano di Pesaro. It boasts ancient walls of medieval origin. The most significant sites and museums of Terre Roveresche are: the Cave of Piagge, more commonly called "The Secret Tomb", an original underground environment, a kind of tomb, whose symmetrical layout, geometric relief decorations on the vaults and walls suggest a possible place of initiation in knightly orders or esoteric rituals; the Environmental Historical Museum based in San Giorgio di Pesaro, documenting history, memory, work and traditions of local communities; the Museum of Terracotta and Banda Grossi of Barchi, which documents the production of terracotta and offers a sampling of typical pottery; the Rope and Brick Museum in Orciano di Pesaro, dedicated to the two main local craft activities of the past: the craft of rope-maker, and the production of bricks and tiles. The square next to the museum is dedicated to native Pomodoro, an internationally well known  artist.
