Ancona is the capital of Marche, which is located in Italy. The city is considered to be an important port of the Adriatic Sea. The coastline that extends from Venice to Pescara offers flat sandy beaches where you can relax under the sun.

A must see is the Ancona cathedral which is set on a mountain that overlooks the whole city and the Adriatic coast. You will find that the roof of the 11th century Cathedral is in the shape of an upturned boat. The cathedral was built on an ancient temple that was dedicated to Venus and you can still see the ruins underneath the cathedral.

Ancona is also popular to accordion players due top Serenellini’s Accordion factory who have been producing the best accordions in the world since 1978.

The place is also filled with medieval and roman landmarks that have survived the severe bombings of the Second World War .
