Guide to Ancona

map
In the northern region of Marche in Italy lies the city of Ancona, a seaport with a population of 102,000. Linked by ferry to Croatia, Greece and Turkey, the city is well located for further travel. The dramatic St Ciriacus Cathedral sits atop the Gausco hill with commanding views of the Adriatic coastline, which may have been a temple to Aphrodite as long ago as 300BC. Don't miss the Pinacoteca Comunale, the city's small but perfectly formed art gallery.
