About Ancona

Ancona, a port city on the Adriatic Sea, offers a blend of historical and natural attractions that invite exploration. Visit the Cathedral of San Ciriaco, an important Romanesque structure that sits atop Guasco Hill. The cathedral provides not only a glimpse into the region's religious heritage but also panoramic views of the city and the coastline.

Another significant site is the Arch of Trajan, which dates back to the 2nd century and serves as a testament to Roman engineering and architecture. Its location by the harbor makes it a pleasant stop while walking through the city's historic areas. The Lazzaretto, also known as the Mole Vanvitelliana, is an interesting example of 18th-century architecture that was originally built as a quarantine station. Today, it often hosts exhibitions and cultural events.

For those interested in art, the Pinacoteca Civica houses a collection of works from the Renaissance to the Baroque period. This gallery provides insights into the artistic evolution of the region. If you enjoy the outdoors, Passetto Beach is a popular spot where you can relax by the sea or take a stroll along the scenic cliffside promenade.

Exploring the historic center, with its narrow streets and charming piazzas, allows for a deeper appreciation of Ancona's local culture. You might also want to sample the regional cuisine, which features seafood and traditional dishes, at local trattorias. Finally, a visit to the Port of Ancona provides a glimpse into the city’s role as a maritime hub and offers ferry connections to various Adriatic destinations.
