The tradition wants that the Pelasgis have been to found Macerata Feltria, legendary "People of the Sea" that from Greece preellenica, and particularly from Lemmo, they crossed the Adriatic to colonize southern and central Italy. The arc of the Pelasgis that marks the southern entry of the Castle, is for a long time homage to these mythical fathers founders and whole symbol of the ancient and illustrious history of Macerata Feltria. Certainly it is that in epoch precristiana flourished in this happy region of the Montefeltro the Roman town hall of Pitinum Pisaurense that in the centuries you/he/she has given archaeological finds of merit, lost among deprived collections and public and only recently to a large extent picked in the Civic Museum of the city. Soaked Feltria it was one it covers forced for the one who came from the sea, situated to the strata of the thick one of the Carpegna and on the intersection between Romagna and brands or, if he/she is wanted, among the earths of the Malatestis and those of the Montefeltros. Since 1233, the town makes action of subjugation to the Commune in Rimini and that city and its gentlemen it will stay faithful for centuries. In the furious struggles between Sigismondo Malatesta and Fred Montefeltro it will be center of the police station of the Malatestis and loyal allied of Sigismondo.

In the Suburb the eighteenth-century Building Antimi testifies the to persist some Prosperity of Macerata Feltria in the centuries as the nineteenth-century Building Kind Beautiful. Just out the inhabited area, on the road for Carpegna, the archaeological excavations of Pitinum Pisaurense and the Parish of St. Cassiano of the XI century, risen by a preexisting pagan temple, they tell even more us an ancient history.
