"You must arrive in Ancona at three in the afternoon , and with the sun. The city seems like a zebra, strips of deep and dark alleys alternate with dazzling and transversal bands. A couple of windows that reflect light makes eyes. Then if a cloud passes, the zebra is transformed into a camel kneeling, and you wait to see him get up at any moment, with the canopy of San Ciriaco on hump and the saint who leans dress rajah."
(Dino Garrone, Myth of Ancona in the Etruscan Smile)

The city is formed by an ancient, a modern and a bathing area. The center offers a rich historical and cultural monuments (Theater of the Muse, Plebiscito Square, National Archaeological Museum of the Marche, Pinacoteca Civica), on top of the Guasco hill stands the famous cathedral of St. Ciriaco (with the adjacent Diocesan Museum) from which you can admire the city from high with its port, the largest of the central Adriatic coast and connected to many tourist stops in the Mediterranean.
The city center is attractive to those who want to make shopping. The Passetto is the resort area of the city (20 km of varied coastline), with its typical caves and bathing services, is characterized by the white rock. Further south, along the scenic road of Conero, there are the beaches of the Trave and Mezzavalle (a white arc and rocky coastline) and the beautiful bay of Portonovo (See Portonovo). |
