The municipal territory covers a 34 km2 (13 sq mi) area. The municipality of Montalto is organised in a central town (Montalto) and three hamlets: Porchia, Patrignone, and an urban agglomeration in "c.da Lago" (located in Valdaso, along the Aso river). Montalto delle Marche is still structured around the medieval village. Along the walls, there are three main gates who provide the access to the central fortification, which is divided into three main areas: the Cassero, the Peracchia and Piazza Umberto I. The modern part of the city is located on the northeast side, and includes the main square (Piazza Sisto V) and the monumental Cathedral, constructed by the desire of Pope Sixtus V. The hamlets of Porchia and Patrignone are also medieval villages, once autonomous municipalities: the medieval fortifications are still existing. Montalto delle Marche borders the following municipalities: Carassai, Castignano, Cossignano, Monte Rinaldo, Montedinove, Montelparo, Ortezzano. The episcopal museum now houses the elaborate Montalto Reliquary in gold, silver, enamel and gemstones, with a central French Late Gothic section of the 1370s, added to by Italian Renaissance goldsmiths around 1460. It was given by Pope Sixtus V in 1586 to the cathedral of his home town.
