Ancona
The Doric city between Roman monuments and sunsets over the sea
The regional capital rises on a promontory shaped like a bent elbow, a unique geographical feature that allows one to observe both the sunrise and the sunset reflected in the Adriatic. Founded by the Greeks of Syracuse, the city preserves an architectural heritage layered over millennia. Ascending towards Colle Guasco, the imposing silhouette of the Cathedral of San Ciriaco dominates—one of the finest examples of Romanesque style in Italy, built on the remains of an ancient temple dedicated to Venus.
The historic port area tells of the unbreakable bond between the town and the maritime routes of the Mediterranean. Strolling through this area allows you to admire the Arch of Trajan, a perfectly preserved Roman monument, and the Mole Vanvitelliana, a pentagonal structure designed as a lazaretto in the 18th century. In addition to archaeological sites and museums, Ancona offers lively commercial districts and parks overlooking the high coast, representing a fundamental cultural stop for those wishing to delve into the history of the Marche during their stay on the Conero Riviera.
