Tour to Ancona, from the Mole to the beaches

Ancona is a nice city with a big bridge. You can have an exciting life with beautiful shops, animated squares and it is rich of art to discover. The panoramic street of the Conero, that links it until the Riviera, is beautiful scenery. When you arrive at the city, our best advice to give you is to visit the Mole Vanvitelliana, built by the architect Luigi Vanvitelli, where you can find aristic, cultural and musical events. If you go from the Mole to the centre of the city, you will arrive at the teatro delle Muse. In this beautiful building, with a neoclassic face, you can find every year the l'Ancona Jazz Summer Festival. This is a very important event with well-known international artists. From this place, “start” the shopping streets such as: Corso Garibaldi, Corso Mazzini and Piazza Roma. Here, between the la fontana delle Tredici Cannelle and the opened-air table’s bar, you can taste lots of typical products and wines, for example: dal Rosso Conero alla Lacrima di Morro d'Alba, dalla Vernaccia di Serra Petrona al Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. The typical dishes are very good also because you can mix lots of flavours and you can taste simple and genuine plates. One of the most appreciate plates is the “stoccaffisso all’anconetana” with aromatic flavour, potatoes and tomatoes. You cannot live this city if you do not visit the Cattedrale di San Ciriaco. situated in the colle Guasco. It is one of the most beautiful medieval church that are in the Marche’s region, for her Greece cross and his roman gothic art and the Chapel of the Our Lady with her 700’s altar built by Luigi Vanvitelli. From the hill, you can also admire a fantastic view of the bridge and of the sull’Arco di Traiano, evocative memory of the roman period. An other important panoramic point is the Passetto, a green area located over the sea where you can reach the animated beach.

Roman art in the Riviera del Conero

The roman church is really splendid and that are located in the Riviera del Conero. San Pietro is situated over the monte Conero, where you can also have an exciting view of the Numana’s bridge and the Marcelli’s coast. This area was destroyed lots of time also during the last war. His face was born thanks to the 700’s repair. If you go down from the monte Conero, you will arrive in Portonovo crossing the provincial street of the Conero, where you can admire suggestive landscape. If you cross the Portonovo’s beaches you will arrive at the beautiful construction of Santa Maria of Portonovo: it is a romanic building that you should visit if you like art and history. This church is located in the natural paradise of the monte Conero. It is a real important jewel of the roman architecture, realised with the tread pieces of the Conero. The Greece cross plan is divided in five naves, the dome is divided in two parts, the drum is square. If you go from Portonovo to the city of Ancona, you will find the third roman church of the Riviera del Conero: Santa Maria della Piazza. This church was constructed around the XI and XII on the rest of two paleocristiane churches. It represents the medieval Ancona. It is a rectangular base of the roman architecture with a Latin cross and it is divided in 3 naves. The portale is rich of decoration.
