It's a beautiful walk along the southern pier, where you can see over 100 sculptures by artists from around the world. You can also explore it on foot or by bike. It's close to the city center.

(Translated by Google) The art museum on the sea of ​​San Benedetto del Tronto is located on the southern pier, a long strip of asphalted land that extends into the sea for just over a kilometer. Here, artists from all over the world have created their works in the form of sculptures or mural paintings using the breakwaters of the pier. The statues of the nativity scene on the sea and a bronze sculpture dedicated to Jonathan Livingston's "Seagull" stand out on the rocks. It is a place that I love to visit every day when I am in San Benedetto because you can breathe in a special atmosphere... The white stones, the blue sea that surrounds them, the art that amazes you, the silence that surrounds you, the red lighthouse at the end of the pier... All this instills great peace and serenity! (Original) Il museo d'arte sul mare di San Benedetto del Tronto si trova al molo sud, una lunga striscia di terra asfaltata che si estende sul mare per poco più di un chilometro. Qui artisti provenienti da tutto il mondo hanno realizzato le loro opere in forma di sculture o pitture murali utilizzando i frangiflutti del molo. Svettano poi sugli scogli le statue del presepe sul mare e una scultura in bronzo dedicata al "Gabbiano" di Jonathan Livingston. E' un posto che adoro visitare ogni giorno quando sono a San Benedetto perché si respira un'atmosfera particolare...Le pietre bianche, il mare azzurro che le circonda, l'arte che ti stupisce, il silenzio che ti circonda, il faro rosso alla fine del molo...Tutto questo infonde una gran pace e serenità!

(Translated by Google) Being one with the seafront of San Benedetto del Tronto, surrounded by varieties of palm trees makes it unique in comparison to other locations on the Adriatic Coast. Some fountains and green islands with a cycle path and a wide sidewalk make it a pleasant space for tourists to walk. (Original) Un tutt'uno con il Lungomare di San Benedetto del Tronto, contornato da varietà di palme lo rende unico in confronto ad altre Località della Costa Adriatica.

Right on the beach and they were even so kind to seat me solo during the lunch rush (14:30) Mussels were delicious ! The appropriate spritz was a bit strong but I guess that depends on particular taste. Overall bartenders and servers were friendly, quick, and efficient. Love this place and can't wait to return!

Wim T — Google review
It’s hard to have a bad meal in Italy and fairly easy to have a great one. However our two plates were exceptional: cappellacci del papà (veal ravioli in butter tartufo sauce) and paccheri Baldoni (tomato bacala sugo). The outdoor terrazza, it’s view, the service and on a Monday evening in a delightful old center of town, Grottammare, all made for a wonderful occasion.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Beach of the Two Sisters is a picturesque sandy and pebble beach known for its two large rock formations, offering visitors the perfect spot for swimming and sunbathing. This stunning coastline boasts white sand and crystal clear waters, reminiscent of the Caribbean. The beach has been awarded with a blue flag in 2019 and is named after the two prominent stacks that are popular photo spots on social media.
I went on June, 4th 2023. The water is cold, there is a lot of sun, so I went inside super fast. It was a little bit windy. The beach is clean. I left early because began raining around 2:30. All these days the rain has been like that. I rented 2 chairs and an umbrella for 25 euros. There is a restaurant on the beach, it was full. The beach is big and on one side is the mountain le due sorelle “two sisters”. The parking lot! Important this… Drive all the way inside close the mountain and park there. It’s the same price than the one at the beginning of the park. I didn’t know this and you have to walk more from the first parking.

It was an excellent boat ride with panoramic views a must if you come to Ancona yet the beach is a good beach but not great with so many people 😢
Rene A — Google review
We made last minute reservation to see how a turtles are released into the sea. Although we expected a lot more from this trip, for example at least more furthers, but there was only one. The experience was still amazing. The boat ride was fun and beautiful. A lot less people than usually due to COVID 19. The boat staff was helpful when getting off. When we arrived at the Beach of the two sisters, we had to climb down the ladder. This was fun! 😁👌Although this trip was planed to leave at 5pm, therefore we got no sun as we arrived on the beach. It was quite dark. The sun there leaves around 3pm. You can also plan to go to this beach in the morning and stay until afternoon in order to just enjoy a private view and swim.

Most beautiful place on the Adriatic coast on Italy ( in this region). Nice water, nice beach, perfect restraint. The only problem is it’s very difficult to park the car after 9 am from the end of may till middle of September!!! There is a public parking at the top, from where to walk about 20 minutes down.

A wonderful beach, though rather crowded. A pleasant boat trip from Numana, I found the 25-euro ticket a bit too high, but I guess a more popular fare would get the beach even more crowded.

Beautifull beach that is very quiet.. That is untill the boatload of tourists gets dumped on the beach. The tour boats ruined the place. Tip: Get there early before the boatload of tourists. When the boatload of tourists arrives just leave in the direction of Portonovo. There are a few beaches that are free off the boatload of tourists.

Beach

Spiaggia Sassi Neri, also known as Black Rock Beach, is a picturesque and rustic destination located near the Conero mountain. The long stretch of coastline features clear blue waters and dark rocks that create a striking contrast with the sea. This natural beach is ideal for snorkeling due to its deep waters and is perfect for those seeking relaxation away from the crowds.
Beautiful beach with all necessary amenities - it has beach beds and umbrellas to rent, toilet, outdoor shower, snack & drink bar and a restaurant. A bit of a climb so best if you can grab a bus on the way back. There are also stairs at the very end to reach the beach so it won’t work for people that aren’t mobile.

Beach was good . After evening, it is being full of waves and there's no sun so be carefull! There's a bar nearby that is selling almost everything, but its nothing special. There's also a public transportation ( a gren bus) that can bring u from the beginning of the way down to the end and its all free, but be carefull, the last ride is at 18.30, so organise yourself in order to be at the bus stop around 18!!

This place is WOW!!! The rocks on the shore as you walk further down the beach aren’t slippery. Just the waves will get you a bit, other than that amazing view on the other side of the big pink rock. If you want to experience something unique and pink this is the place!

Really beautiful beach!!! The water is clear and there is a lot to see underwater for people interested in a bit of snorkeling. Clean and not overly full of people. From the city of Sirolo there is maybe 20 minutes on foot and a bit more to return, but it can be done by everyone (I had with me a friend that is the opposite of athletic and he was able to do it...grumbling but he did)
Anna B — Google review
'Sassi neri" is a renowned beach close to the Conero mountain and it's, for sure, a very nice place where to spend a day with a family or friends. But let's start from the beginning. After leaving your car in a parking you can choose between taking a bus or two different trails. First dirt road is not for children and not for unhealthy people. Don't take it also if you have only flip_flops because it's steep and dangerous. Second one is a normal road but steeper than the other. (If you take this solution you can also ask for bus service that cost 2 euro for the round trip) After 30 min (5 with bus) you will reach "sassi neri beach" a pleasant place sourrounded by green and lush vegetation with clear blue sea water. (for sure better than Emilia Romagna coast which is usually green). Down there, there is also a restaurant and few bars where to take a drink or a coffee. To conclude, Sassi Neri e San Michele is a very nice place but if you have altready been in Sardinia or Puglia or Sicily don't expect to find places like that. Cheers

A beautiful park, walks mainly in the shade or semi shade. Really good interpretation board for the geology with a viewing platform so you can easily see the Permian-Triassic boundary 65 million years ago, the end of the dinosaurs and many other groups including ammonites. Great coastal views on some of the walk.

Roman cisterns

Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
The Roman Cisterns in Fermo are an incredible architectural marvel dating back to around 40 AD. This historical relic covers an expansive area of 2,200 square meters and consists of thirty interconnected rooms used for collecting and distributing rainwater. Situated beneath various parts of the city, these cisterns showcase exceptional preservation and represent a remarkable example of ancient Roman hydraulic engineering. A visit to these impressive structures is a must for any tourist exploring Fermo's historic center.
It's just a part of Roman empire history left in the middle of the city, I was shocked how intelligent was people in that period, a must see place to visit. There is a guide as well, but she was talking only Italian, I'm not sure if they have a English guide. Anyway it's a really cool place but inside is cold so take a hoodie with you when you wanna go there.

Fascinating roman cisterns, simple but clear multi lingual guide informatio, open Sat and Sunday mornings and late afternoons, or Fridays by reservation only. Well worth the 4E admission.

We visited the "cisterne romane", the palazzo Priori, the library and last but not least an art exhibition. (All this in Fermo) The Marche region has a lot to offer even if unknown to the most. Most of all it helped us continue believing that for every bad day many good ones are yet to come.

This a relatively little known Roman underground archeological site. But it is a MUST visit. Built by the ancient romans, the cisterns were built to collect rainwater. The ticket costs €4, worth every penny. You can visit other sites/museums in Fermo with a single ticket that includes the cisterns. The other museums are also worth visiting.

Absolutely amazing. You need to book and pay the tour online. The tour is in italian, foreigners get printed info. The guide almost skipped one part, so read well. There is 15°C and the tour is 30 minutes long.

Piazza del Popolo, established in 1442 at the center of Fermo, is a remarkable and well-preserved area that showcases the town's architectural elegance. It boasts a visually pleasing and structurally precise environment, where significant buildings seamlessly blend into its surroundings. One such structure is the Loggiato di San Rocco (Gallery of St. Rocco), constructed in 1528 and situated opposite the Church of San Rocco from 1505 onwards.
It is a small but beautiful historical plaza with the church of San Francis, the Palazzo dei Capitani, and several restaurants and shops all around. Several activities are happening year-round, even in the winter until late at night.

Nice square with lovely architecture all around the piazza. At 11am all the shops were closed except for one cafe then by noon some shops started opening up. The council house is worth a tour, but do NOT miss the magnificent Roman underground cistern. Tickets from the tourist office at the bottom corner of the piazza.

A lovely place to visit and it gets busy at the weekends. Only thing I would say has something against it is. Be careful where you stop for a drink as soon as the waiting staff hear you speak English the prices go up. Other than that a great place to visit and the sight seeing is 5* too.

Very interesting city! You need at least 5 hours to view the most interesting places. Take an ice cream or a coffee (Italian). Very impressive city just from the highway A14 (13 km). Also enjoy a break in one of the many AirBnb places to enjoy the great views. I had one 6 km from Fermo. It is if you are in a concert of crickets.

Nice City to Visit. Also you can enjoy nice gelato, Coffee and aperitivo here with friends. Archeological museum and Roman water cisterns are very near this place.

Nice little plaza on top of the hill in the historical center of Fermo surrounded by historical buildings. There are quite many restaurants and cafes. Parking possibilities abound but can be scarce to find if you happen to visit the place during some festivities as the local police tend to close the main access streets to the plaza. The public toilets cannot be recommended (uninviting, not clean). No wonder they were empty during yesterday's local evening market despite the center being crowded.

Sanctuary of the Holy House of Loreto

Mentioned on

Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Loreto, the Sanctuary of the Holy House of Loreto, or Basilica della Santa Casa, stands as a beacon for pilgrims and visitors alike. This revered site is steeped in tradition, believed to be the very home where the Virgin Mary lived and was raised. According to legend, angels transported this sacred house from Palestine to Italy on December 10th, 1294.
Beautiful basilica perched high on a hill. The importance is profound as it is the home of the birthplace of Mary, brought here by the crusaders. The reverence with which visitors enter the chambers is amazing. What a wonderful place to visit, and quite serendipitous on our part as it was an unplanned stop. Definitely worth seeing.
Gary G — Google review
Ever wonder what happened to the house of the Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus? The house without the foundation was believed to have been brought by the angels in Loreto Italy in the middle of the road. The foundation of the house is in Israel though. The house is now housed inside a beautiful church in Loreto, Italy. We drove there from. Rome and took us about 3 and a half hours. See the church at night or might as well attend a mass at night and during the day. The place is beautiful and quiet. Parking during our visit was challenging. Make sure you have Euros in cash/coins to pay for parking. When we were there, it won't take credit and one miraculous moment, someone gave us coins to pay for parking! An angel sent by Jesus or Mama Mary! Praise God! You cannot take pictures i side Mother Mary's house. But once inside, you can see even some of Jesus scribbles on the wall 😀

Visiting the Madonna’s House in Loreto was a deeply moving and spiritual experience. This sacred place, known as the Holy House, is believed to be where the Virgin Mary lived and received the Angel Gabriel’s announcement. The story of how this humble home was miraculously transported from Nazareth to Loreto in the 13th century adds a sense of wonder and faith to the site. Inside the beautiful basilica that protects it, I felt a profound peace and connection to centuries of devotion.

Deeply religious experience. The crusaders moved Mary's house (the part that was built outside of the grotto) to Loreto, Italy. It's amazing.

Beautiful square with the 1614 fountain and the basilica which houses what is believed to be the house of Saint Mary, mother of Jesus, in Nazareth. Masses are held several times a day; a good time for a tourist visit might be between 12:30 and 5:00 PM. Parking lots outside the walls are charged from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm € 1.40/hour € 10 all day, a short distance away there are also large parking lots both free and charged. Toilets € 0.50 at the small gardens behind the square. If you limit yourself to this and to walking along the main street with the businesses, the visit can take an hour and a half. There is also more to see and the visit can take up the whole day. The Museo Pontificio Della Santa Casa € 8 and the patrol walkways € 5 these only with guided tour ( 5 per day the first at 10) their cumulative ticket € 10. "Porta della Marina" from 1534, near has the panoramic terrace, the small park of remembrance, the“holy staircase” of 400 steps and the Polish war cemetery. Free admission for the permanent mechanical nativity scene 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2:30-7:30 p.m. and the small air force museum from July to September daily 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m., an airplane of the “Frecce Tricolori,” is exhibited outside the “round tower” . The Roman Gate of 1590, near the civic tower of the 17th, and of course you can also walk all the way around the defensive walls. According to tradition, in 1291, angels transported three walls of Our Lady's house from the cave in Nazareth, to which it was connected by the fourth wall, to the town of Rijeka in Croatia. They then moved it to the vicinity of Ancona. After 9 months, another transfer took place, this time to Porto Recanati on the property of a noblewoman named “Loreta”. After her name, the statue on display in the house was called “Madonna di Loreta” or “Vergine Lauretana”, but it burned down in a fire in 1921 and the statue on display today is a copy from 1922. Again the angels, after 8 months, moved the house to another private property, but in 1294 they lifted it into the air again, finally depositing it on the top of a hill, and the shrine and city of Loreto was founded around it. According to another, more historical version, it was the Crusaders, nearing defeat in the Last Crusade, who dismantled the house. The transport to Italy from Palestine was carried out by the "Angeli" family, a real Italian surname, and over the years this gave rise to a misunderstanding that confused them with heavenly angels. Having become a pilgrimage destination in 1468, work began on the construction of the basilica. In the 16th century Donato Bramante created the fine marble facing that covers the outer walls of the “Holy House". The city's mighty city walls were built between 1518 and 1522 to resist possible attacks by the Turks who landed on the coasts plundering the villages, an earlier wall from 1315 defended pilgrims and their donations from bandits. The basilica''s exterior was completed in 1587 while work on the interior decorations ended a few years later.

Sferisterio di Macerata is an enchanting open-air opera house that can accommodate up to 3,000 spectators. It is known for its grandeur and impressive Italian Baroque architecture. The arena, a 200-year-old building in the neo-classical style, resembles a Roman arena and hosts a popular opera festival each summer. Its acoustics are highly reputed, making it a fantastic venue for shows.
A very beautiful, impressive place for musical performances. The open-air theater is not particularly large, but offers a great backdrop. From all seats you have a good view of the stage and relatively direct contact with the artists

Attending a performance at the Sferisterio during the Macerata Opera Festival is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The unique open-air arena, with its impressive architecture and incredible acoustics, provides the perfect setting for world-class opera. The atmosphere is electric, and the blend of history, culture, and artistic excellence is unparalleled. The festival is beautifully organized, with a great variety of performances that cater to both opera enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The staff is welcoming, and the entire city of Macerata comes alive with the spirit of the festival. From the moment you arrive, you feel like you're part of something very special. I can't recommend this enough—whether you're an opera aficionado or just looking for a memorable cultural experience, the Sferisterio and the Macerata Opera Festival should be at the top of your list. Bravo to everyone involved!

We didn't experience an opera or concert. We visited it outside the opera season, so you can only see the interior. We expected to see more: backstage, balcony, loges, .... Still nice to visit because it's a great building. But experiencing an opera or concert must be breath taking. If you believe this review is useful, then please 'like' it.

Fantastic old historic opera house in Macerata. We saw Carmen here last night and it was a serious treat. We were in box 35 and had a lovely view of the stage, sets and production. The opera house is magnificent. It has its quirks but still offers a wonderful time. The production was high quality and immensely entertaining. The air was warm and balmy. The town is lovely.

Visited the building (no concert). For six euros you just get to see the inside of the arena, and a flashy edited movie which doesn't provide any in-depth info and history. In my opinion a big rip-off, this should be free like visiting a park. It's probably much nicer when there's a concert. Would've been nice to get on the roof for panoramic view.

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Ascoli Piceno Cathedral is a stunning medieval church with a redesigned facade dating back to 1389. The exterior features 64 square partitions adorned with frescoes depicting biblical scenes, earning it the nickname "Bible of the Poor." Inside, visitors can admire beautiful frescoes under the first floor and explore the adjacent baptistery. While the cathedral itself is a must-see with its impressive marble columns, there's also an unfortunate uncertainty about accessing the catacombs/crypts.
Because of the cript bellow the main oltair I love this cathedral. You can see old stone coffins and before you get to them an old chapel. Cathedral was under renovations so some parts were not visible, but still worth it. It was full hour when we left and you can see how big are church bells and how far out from the tower they go.

I would also like to point out that my room was adjacent to another and communicating with a door (locked of course) but with simple noises or chatter, there was no privacy (especially at night or in the silence of the early morning).

La colazione inclusa che si consuma presso un bar convenzionato . Non posso dare informazioni in merito perché non ho utilizzato il buono colazione .

(Translated by Google) The owner was really kind, the b&b is located in a very central historic building. Breakfast is at the Boccascena pastry shop, a wide choice of excellent quality products. The rooms are large corresponding to the photos on the site. Ascoli Piceno, beautiful city. (Original) Il titolare è stato veramente gentile, il b&b si trova in un palazzo storico centralissimo.

Church of Saint Peter Martyr

Mentioned on

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Church of Saint Peter Martyr, located in Ascoli Piceno, is a historic attraction that showcases the transition from Romanesque to Gothic style over three centuries. It is said that St. Francis visited Ascoli in 1215 and inspired thirty young boys to follow his teachings. The church's interior boasts a bright and austere Gothic architecture, with interventions from the Baroque era.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful church with two entrances and interesting external details. As for the interior, the photos speak for themselves: there are medieval frescoes on the columns and in other areas but the San Sebastiano is the one that amazed me the most! (Original) Bellissima chiesa con due ingressi e dettagli esterni interessanti. Per quanto riguarda l’interno le foto parlano da sole: ci sono affreschi medioevali sulle colonne e in altre aree ma il San Sebastiano è quello che più mi ha stupita!

(Translated by Google) The church was built in 1280 and is very beautiful. Like that of San Francesco, the sumptuous entrance in the left nave stands out from the square, while the main façade is almost hidden. Gothic with Baroque overtones, it nevertheless has an austere presence. (Original) La chiesa è stata eretta nel 1280 ed è molto bella. In analogia a quella di San Francesco, anche qui è il sontuoso ingresso nella navata sinistra che fa bella mostra di se nella piazza, mentre la facciata principale è quasi nascosta. Gotico con sovrapposizioni barocche, ha comunque una presenza austera.

(Translated by Google) First time I've entered this church (even though I'm from Ascoli), and I must say that it surprised me. Very large structure but, perhaps, a little bare. (Original) Prima volta che entro dentro questa chiesa (nonostante io sia di Ascoli), e devo dire che mi ha sorpreso. Struttura molto grande ma, forse, un po' spoglia.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful church in Romanesque-Gothic style. Inside are beautiful frescoes. In one corner, you can admire a thorn from Christ's crown. (Original) Chiesa molto bella in stile romanico- gotico. All' interno si trovano bellissimi affreschi. In un angolo di può ammirare una spina della corona di Cristo.
Paolo U — Google review
(Translated by Google) Not only the church but the entire Dominican monastic complex which also includes the Umberto I technical institute where, in the former cloister, a seventeenth-century cycle of frescoes on the life of Saint Catherine of Siena is visible. What is striking about the interior of the church is the brightness and austere Gothic architecture despite the interventions of the Baroque era. The artistic-architectural stratification is notable, ranging from medieval and Renaissance frescoes to eighteenth-century altars with sculptures and large canvases by local school artists. Also worth visiting are the sacristy and an exhibition dedicated to the Annunciation and finally, along the external perimeter of the block, the perspective of rationalist architecture, with celebratory characteristics of the period, of the technical institute which, unfortunately, in the "twenty years" of the 20th century was superimposed to replace the monastery (Original) Non solo la chiesa ma tutto il complesso monastico domenicano che ingloba anche l'istituto tecnico Umberto I dove è visibile, nell'ex chiostro, un seicentesco ciclo di affreschi sulla vita di Santa Caterina da Siena. Quello che colpisce nell'interno della chiesa è la luminosità e l'austera architettura gotica nonostante gli interventi di epoca barocca. Notevole la stratificazione artistico architettonica che va dagli affreschi di epoca medioevale e rinascimentali agli altari settecenteschi con sculture e grandi tele di artisti di scuola locale. Da visitare anche la sacrestia e una esposizione dedicata all'Annunciazione ed infine, percorrendo il perimetro esterno dell'isolato, la prospettiva di architettura razionalista, con caratteristiche celebrative del periodo, dell'istituto tecnico che, purtroppo, nel "ventennio" del '900 si è sovrapposto in sostituzione del monastero

What a wonderful climbing adventure for all ages!! Really nice, professional and helpful staff who gave clear instructions in good English and stayed along the route to assist the entire time. Kids trails are really nice and worthwhile for the young ones, well taken care off with even chairs for parents to watch. Canyon 1 is a great challenge for the older kids but such a unique trail within the great nature of the canyon and above the rivier. Our whole family had a wonderful day at this park, would definitively recommend it to everybody!

(Translated by Google) We are adults. We did route 2. Bearing in mind that I brought the absolutely inexperienced husband, there are a couple of passages on the river of medium difficulty but we had been warned by the staff who work hard to manage all the adventurers. The route is exciting and adrenaline-filled with hanging bridges and zip lines. I really liked it! Unfortunately, some parents are not as good at keeping their children at bay and this causes some mix-ups and delays. (Original) Siamo adulti. Abbiamo fatto il percorso 2. Premettendo che ho portato il marito assolutamente inesperto, ci sono un paio di passaggi sul fiume di difficoltà media ma eravamo stati avvertiti dal personale che si impegna parecchio per gestire tutti gli avventurieri. Il percorso è avvincente e adrenalinico tra ponti sospesi e zip line a me è piaciuto molto! Purtroppo alcuni genitori non sono altrettanto bravi a tenere a bada i propri figli e causano alcuni disguidi e ritardi.

(Translated by Google) A crystal clear lake in the Sibylline Mountains - Lago di Cingoli - beautifully blended into the landscape, with an amazing color. Entirely man-made on the Musone River Dam to shelter the rich surrounding fauna and flora. The lake has an amazing color, totally turquoise. It's unbelievable. Combined with the green vegetation and mountains in the background, a beautiful image is created. If you are in the area, be sure to come see this beautiful lake.

EDITED - Terrible place, feels deserted by customers and seems like a joke. I will not come here anymore because it is old and dangerous to use some of slides, for example connections between tubes are somehow not aligned or have dimples, so when you slide you feel them. They - Service staff - have a break in middle of day, for one hour it is not possible to use ANY swimming pool nor slides. All of them are out for one hour, including a normal swimming pool. Not possible to book on website, Google maps website does not allow to book on iOS. I used iPhone and iPad and i could not book any of tickets. WEAK SERVICES ON SITE. Waste of money!

(Translated by Google) Built around the second half of the 9th century on the slopes of the Colcù hill and modified towards the end of the 16th century thanks to the intentions of the cardinal evangelist Pallotta to want to use it as his summer residence by making improvements in Renaissance style to celebrate the prestige of the Pallottas, who included many four Cardinals in his family. [1] It hosted, among others, Pope Clement VIII and Queen Christina of Sweden. (Original) Edificato intorno alla seconda metà del IX secolo sulle pendici del colle Colcù e modificato verso la fine del Cinquecento grazie alle intenzioni del cardinale evangelista Pallotta di volerla adibire a propria residenza estiva apportandone migliorie in stile rinascimentale per celebrare il prestigio dei Pallotta, che ha annoverato ben quattro Cardinali nella propria famiglia. [1] Ospitò fra gli altri il pontefice Clemente VIII e la regina Cristina di Svezia.

(Translated by Google) We have wanted to do this hike for a long time, finally we leave. The path is long and for expert hikers the place is extraordinary of breathtaking beauty. Unfortunately the path is absolutely not well maintained and well marked there are very challenging points where it would be necessary to add fences or ropes to hold on to avoid the risk of falling or slipping in the canyon. Gravel everywhere slippery ground and a path not for everyone. Starting from Foce there is only one sign but no indication of the difficulty the travel time the kilometers it is taken for granted that you update digitally but not everyone does it. Few checks despite being the Sibillini Mountains Park. However beautiful difficult hike but the effort is rewarded. (Original) Da tempo volevamo fare questa escursione finalmente partiamo. Il cammino è lungo e per escursionisti esperti il luogo è straordinario di una bellezza mozzafiato. Purtroppo il percorsonon è assolutamente ben curato e ben segnalato ci sono punti molto impegnativi dove sarebbe necessario aggiungere degli steccati o delle corde dove tenersi per non rischiare di cadere o wcivolare nei canalone. Ghiaiaone dappertutto terreno sdrucciolevole e un percorso non per tutti. Partiti da Foce c'è un solo cartello ma nessuna indicazione su la difficoltà il tempo di percorrenza i km si da per scontato che ci si aggiorni digitalmente ma non tutti lo fanno. Pochi controlli nonostante sia Parco dei Monti Sibillini. Comunque bellissima escursione difficile ma ripagata la fatica.
