Osimo — Grotte del Cardinale & Piazza Belvedere
Marche
Osimo's central square sits atop a warren of tunnels and chambers cut into the soft sandstone beneath the town, used variously for storage, refuge and worship over the centuries — a hidden counterpart to the open belvedere just above, which looks out over the Musone valley toward Ancona and the sea.
