Ancona is a place off the beaten track that offers tourists a true insight into authentic Italian life. This was a town built across two hills overlooking a large and prosperous harbour. It was first settled in the 4th century by the Greeks. Ancona has seen its fair share of destruction as it was badly bombed during World War II and was victim to a terrible earthquake in 1972.
When touring around the city centre, why not enjoy a picnic lunch beside the 16th century Fontana del Calamo, a collection of intricately designed water spouts in Corso Mazzini before spending a lovely afternoon walking around and admiring the many old buildings that still stand in the historic centre.
So why not take a day to explore all that Ancona has to offer, you won’t be disappointed!
