Renting Car in Ascoli Piceno

In Ancona pay attention to Mole Vanvitelliana. Built in the 18th century, this place has already been a hospital, a prison, and barracks, and a tobacco factory. Now it is opened for tourists. Not far from Mole there is Porta Pia, a great example of Baroque architecture, which was also built in the 18th century. There is also the Citadel in Ancona – a fortress, built at the beginning of the 16th century and perfectly-preserved until the present time. The most famous monument of Ancona is the Arch of Trajan, a unique construction, which over lived the Roman Empire for centuries. It was built in the 1st century, and though it lost some of its décors because of the actions of the Huns and the Saracens, is still in its original form. Near Ancona, there are also ruins of an old amphitheater from the times of the height of the Roman Empire.

The Cathedral of Ancona is also quite remarkable. The remains of St. Kiriak are still preserved here and worship services are conduct in this building, constructed in the 10th century. A kilometer from the Cathedral, there is the Plebiscito Square, where San Domenico Church is located. The Merchants’ Lodge in Ancona, which construction began at the end of the 14th century, is also quite interesting. San Francesco alle Scale, Saint Pellegrino and Theresa’s church, the Holy House at the market square, the Church of The Holy Mother, the Palace of the Elders – all these buildings in Ancona of Medieval era almost haven’t been affected by the time.
