From here, go for a walk or a ride in the historic center of Ancona, through splendid Piazza San Francesco, named after the beautiful church, up to the Palazzo degli Anziani.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/anconatourism.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/palazzo-degli-anziani.jpg” image_size=”full” title=”Palazzo degli Anziani” align=”center” margin_bottom=”40″ drop_shadow=”true”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1777361023062{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]If you are on foot, walking down the Vanvitelli promenade, take Vicolo della Serpe, an alley that will lead you through a small door directly to Piazza San Francesco: you\u2019ll feel like a visitor in the Middle Ages!<\/p>\n

A few steps further down Via Ciriaco Pizzecolli, let yourself be surprised by the Civic Art Galley “F. Podesti”<\/a>, housed in the eighteenth-century Palazzo Bosdari. Founded in 1884, it holds masterpieces of extraordinary significance: Titian’s Pala Gozzi<\/em> – the Venetian master’s first signed and dated work – Carlo Crivelli’s Madonna and Child<\/em>, and Lorenzo Lotto’s Sacra Conversazione<\/em>, alongside works by Sebastiano del Piombo, Guercino, Carlo Maratti, and a rich twentieth-century collection.

Continue your journey to the Archaeological Museum<\/a>, definitely worth a visit on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next stop is the Roman Amphitheater<\/a>, worth the visit in itself\u2026 and for the panorama.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/anconatourism.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/anfiteatro-romano-ancona-1.jpg” image_size=”full” title=”Roman Amphitheater” align=”center” margin_bottom=”40″ drop_shadow=”true”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1622725808269{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]At the top of Guasco Hill you\u2019ll find the Cathedral of San Ciriaco<\/a> that overlooks the city and the sea.

Continue to the Lanterna Rossa<\/a> (Red Lighthouse), one of the symbols of Ancona, and an ideal place for iconic selfie moments.<\/p>\n

From here, venture back into the city and immerse yourself in its green lung, Cardeto Park<\/a>.
