Church of San Agostino, Pesaro

Hi Corra,
Grazie! That should get me to Urbania. What about when we leave to go to Roma on a Sunday? Is there bus service on Sunday from Urbania to Pesaro? Would we go from Urbania to Urbino to Pesaro? If yes, what time should we plan to leave Urbania by bus to make the train at 13:16?
I really appreciate your help because I haven't got a clue as to what to do!

The exterior of the Sinagogue

This is the facade of the Sinagogue of Pesaro. It seems to be a normal house but inside you can find everything you need about the religion creed.The Spanish Sinagogue was built around the 17th centuries in the heart of the ancient Pesaro. From the city centre it takes only 10 minutes to find it, follow the guide!
