I visited these caves 12 years ago and were awestruck but could not share because no photos were allowed to be taken. We visited again in October 2019 and now you may take photos from the second hall onwards without flash. If you are in the area, do not miss it. You can buy tickets online but most tours on the hour are in Italian, Also you need to be at the meeting point half an hour before your tour commences because a shuttle bus takes you from the parking area to the entrance which is about 3 km back. English tours usually forty minutes later i.e. 11:40 but you, need to confirm at the ticket office. You have to go with a guided tour. About 1 km of walkways with some steps.

Starting from the center of Ancona, after a long uphill walk, you can admire this magnificent Romanesque cathedral. The cathedral is located right at the top of a hill overlooking Ancona from which you can see a wonderful view of the sea. Where Greek temples once dominated, Christianity has replaced them with this beautiful cathedral. Definitely worth the visit, try it at sunrise or sunset for sure and very suggestive

Very cool place full of history! A must if you are in the area and you like a little mystery. They are not natural caves like Frasassi, I suggest you to bring a light jacket with you and call in advance to reserve your tour. Gaia, our guide, was very good and super nice, she was able to keep the kids attention alive for the whole time (about an hour)!

A great history of paper making from China 100 BC to Italy 1300’s and up to modern times. It has working machinery from the 18th century, and demonstration of early hand made methods of making paper from rags. There are many exhibits of ancient papers and documents, hundreds of watercolor paintings. It is well worth the visit. You can purchase stationery and envelopes on hand made watermarked paper in the store. The products are beautiful and reasonably priced.

Beautiful historical sight, worth visiting at least outside. The current appearance of the Fortress dates back to the Renaissance period: it was built between 1476 and 1482 by Giovanni Della Rovere, nominated Lord of Senigallia and Vicar of Mondavio by Pope Sisto IV, who was at the time his uncle Francesco Della Rovere. Now it’s a museum that hosts different kinds of exhibitions. Very picturesque!
