Touring Ancona
Let’s start from the symbol of the city, the Cathedral of San Ciriaco, the main church of Ancona which owes its name to Ciriaco, a holy bishop of Armenian origin.

Still inside the port of Ancona, it is impossible not to be captured by a pentagonal-shaped building that laps the sea in the opposite position to the Arch of Trajan.
It is the Mole Vanvitelliana or Lazzaretto of Ancona, a complex built in 1733 on a artificial island by Luigi Vanvitelli.
Thirteen masks of fauns and satyrs make the water of what is one of the most famous fountains in Ancona gush out, the Fountain of Calamo or Fountain of the 13 Cannelle.
Rebuilt in Renaissance-Mannerist style based on a design by the architect Pellegrino Tibaldi between 1559 and 1560.
A fountain already stood in the Greek era and then incorporated into the city walls during the Middle Ages, it represents a fixed stop for tourists visiting Ancona.
Piazza del Plebiscito is the oldest square in Ancona.
Arranged on two levels, the square has a highly scenographic layout, underlined by the presence, in the center, of the statue of Clement XII.
The same Pope who granted the city the free port by expanding and modernizing it.

How not to mention the Ascoli Olives!!!
