Reviewed By viaggioSensoriale - Cesena, Italy
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
