One of the main resorts of the South Mark, whose embankment is decorated with seven thousand palm trees, stands out by its unique atmosphere of the tropics. This is also a beautiful city, known as the second largest fishing port on the Adriatic coast of Italy. The resort is of great popularity, but thanks to 8 km of wide sandy beaches, fastened with palm trees, there is enough space for all. At the same time, the old-fashioned elegance of the city does not interfere with the burst of nightlife, which leaves no indifferent tourists. The most beautiful part of the beach is the most good hotels here - stretched south of the city center. The beach north of the extensive port is not so comfortable, but there are many semi-empty and free areas on it. The vintage part of the city is located above the main resort, at the far end Corso Mazzini.and marked by a lock, surrounded by narrow streets of brick houses.

The Marche region (Marche) is located in the east of Italy, on the Adriatic Sea coast. Her capital is the city (Ancona). For its history, these lands consistently moved from hand to hand: at first it owned the ancient Greeks, then the Romans, after them the goths were invaded. After the Byzantine rule of land, the Earth moved to the ancient Germans, from which they received their name (Mark - region). In Mark, a lot of shipbuilding shipyards, tourism, trade, fisheries are well developed. The region is famous for the developed light industry: fashionable Italian shoes, popular around the world, for the most part made by Mark masters, so at least it is worth a shopping for the sake of shopping.

Administrative center of one of the five provinces of the region, Ancona - the capital and the largest city of Mark with a population of about 100 thousand people. This is a large port and world-famous balneological resort. In Ancona, many monuments of antiquities preserved from ancient times. The city is very popular among tourists, but the Italians themselves seek here, who - to fix health, who are to take a walk through the surrounding hills. Not far from Ancona In the late 1940s, speleologists opened the Frazassas Caves (Grotte Di Frasassi), which became one of the main attractions of the region. The overall length of the underground labyrinth is about 30 kilometers; In one of the caves, there was once a monastery of the Catholic Order of Sylvestrints.

Monuments of Ancona, who made the Ancient Roman era - Arc Traiano (Arco Di Traiano) and a dilapidated amphitheater (Anfiteatro Romano). It is the first thing to be numerous tourists; Not every day you will see the creation of the hands of human hands, created at the dawn of our era, in 115 (amphitheater and more older).

Traditional Cathedral for each Italian city, several churches of the X-XI centuries, Vintage Palazzo - ancona has something to see. Its convenient location makes the city attractive even for those who initially did not plan a trip here: it is difficult to stay from the temptation to spend on the road only 2-3 hours and see unique structures and architectural monuments. The nearest popular resort is located just 100 km. The road from Rimini to Ancona along the coast on you will take about 1.5 hours, and for about an hour.

Big cities

In addition to the province of Ancona with the same center, the brand includes four more. The city of Pesaro is the second largest in Mark (a little more than 90 thousand people live in it), it is the center of the province of Pesaro-E-Urbino (Provincia di Pesaro E Urbino). Further, followed by Fano, Ascoli Picheno - the center of the province with the same name, Macerata and Farmo. The last two cities are centers of the provinces of the same name.

Pesaro (Pesaro) - primarily the city of resort. It's not hot here in the summer, quite warm in winter, and 8 km of beaches are mounted citizens and visits.
This is easily accessible by train from and Ancona; A regular bus service connects the city with Rome and Ancona.

Joakkino Rossini (Gioachino Rossini) was born in Pesaro, so his house is the main "bait" for tourists. The cost of the entrance ticket - from 8 to 10 euros. It is not surprising that the city theater (Teatro Rossini) is the name of the famous composer.

From other interesting places in Pesaro, it is worth paying attention to the ancient Villa Imperial (La Villa Imperiale). She is known that for several decades served as a house for the Dukes of Sforza (Sforza), the main rivals of the Medici dynasty (Medici). An excellent mansion is located on the top of the hill, which offers a beautiful view of the city.

Gathering in Pesaro, make up your schedule so that your stay in the city coincided with the third Sunday of the month. On this day, the city festival La Stradlenika is held here (La Stradomenica). You can not only have fun among the citizens, but also take advantage of a number of profitable suggestions: during the holiday sales are arranged, urban collapsions are opened, and cafes and restaurants serve their customers at special prices.

Fano

Fano City (Fano) was well known for more. In those days, he was called the "Fantuna Temple" (Fantunae). Evidence of the ancient past city is a city fortress wall, partially preserved to the present day, as well as Arc Augusta (Arco d'Augusto). She was built by Emperor Augustus in the first years of our era. Today, the arch is a symbolic gate of the city and is its main tourist attraction.

Another gate, Porta della Mandria (La Porta della Mandria), are less likely to be mentioned in guidebooks and less known to tourists, but no less interesting. They are part of the old urban walls, which the city of the Romans acquired, and were in the ruined state until 1925.

One of the mandatory points of the program when visiting Fano - Malatesta Castle (Palazzo Malatesta). The Palazzo was erected at the beginning of the XIV-XV centuries by order of Pandolfo Malatesta, a representative of a good kind, during the 200 years of the city, famous for his cruelty and rejection of church laws. Now the castle is located an archaeological museum with an extensive and interesting exposition.

Ancient and beautiful Ascoli Picheno (Ascoli Piceno) in the guidebooks in the country is not always paid to a lot of attention, although there are a large number of unique historical and architectural monuments.

The city is rightfully considered hardly the most beautiful in the region due to the fact that many buildings in his center are built from travertine, lime tuff color beige.

To understand what we are talking about, imagine, also folded from travertine. The entire center of Ascoli, including squares and sidewalks, is this - a beige, having something pink, whether the pearly gray shade.

The heart of the city is the Piazza del Popolo Square (Piazza del Popolo), or folk. It is elegant and solemn, not in vain, many consider it one of the most beautiful in Italy. Closed around the perimeter walls of monumental historical buildings, it looks like a front hall, over which there is no ceiling - only a bright blue sky. The effect is amazing, especially if you face the hills that are visible behind the area around the area.

Cathedral of the city, which is the name of Ascoli's patron Saint of St. Emigdi (Cattedrale Di Sant'emidio), radically different from the main temples of other Italian cities. The cult facilities were on the site of the cathedral in the IV-V centuries, and the most ancient parts are dated to the VIII-IX centuries. In the XI century, a crypt was built for the relics of the saint. His current view of the cathedral acquired in the 1530s when his facade was dismantled and built anew.

There are many antiquity monuments in the city. The whole streets built by the ancient Romans are preserved here, walking on which, very well understand how old this city is. One of the preserved buildings of that era is a bridge over the Tronto River (Tronto). Its length is 62 meters, width - 6.5 m. Experts believe that the bridge was built during the reign of the emperor of August, that is, no later than the second decade of our era.

Of the most famous buildings of Macerata (Macerata), it is worth noting the university founded in 1290 by the Pope of Roman Nikolai IV. It is considered one of the oldest in Europe.

One of the amazing places in the city that has no analogues - Sferuser (ARENA SFERISTERIO). Arena, partly similar to the ancient Roman circus, was built in 1829. She was intended for a sports game, popular in Italy from ancient times. At the beginning of the 20th century, interest in this entertainment UGAS, and now the construction is used for opera and ballet performances and musical festivals.

Another unusual building in Macerta is the so-called diamond palace (Palazzo Dei Diamanti). It was built in the XVI century, and received his name thanks to outdoor facing. The facade of the building is completely covered with stones, covered in a special way - as if felling.

Small urbino (Urbino) is a unique city, mandatory for visiting. His feature is that with its more than modest sizes, this is a real cultural center of the region. About 15 and a half thousand people constantly live in Urbino. At the same time - attention! - It is still about the same as long as the local university.

University of Urbino (Università Degli Studi Di Urbino) was founded at the very beginning of the XVI century, first as medical, and then expanding the list of disciplines.

Urbino himself is based in the IV century BC. His main buildings, built in the Renaissance Epoch, were almost completely preserved to our days, so the historical appearance of the city reached us unchanged. The main decoration of the city, the Ducogian Palace (Palazzo Ducale) of the XV century, is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The residence of the Dukes of Urbinsky was not completed, but even in this form it is a unique monument of the past era.

Two more outstanding sample architecture of different years - Church of St. Bernardino (La Chiesa Di San Bernardino Degli Zoccolanti), built in 1491, and the city cathedral (Duomo di Urbino) in the neoclassical style of 1801.

You can not get around the Great House-Museum (Raffaello Santi), a native. The exposition dedicated to one of the best painters of the world, from the XIX century is located in the house where he was born. Personal things of the artist and his family are not preserved, furniture and other interior items presented in the museum are typical for that time. The museum works daily, the price of the entrance ticket is 3.5 euros.

To get into Urbino is the easiest of the Pesaro, to which, in turn, you can drive from Bologna or Ancona. From Pesaro in Urbino there is a bus. The fare is 3 euros, travel time from 45 minutes to an hour with a little. 35 kilometers between two cities can be driving on a taxi, the average price of 45 euros.

Resort Mark.

Since the brand and sea are inextricably linked, not to mention the resorts of the region is impossible. We list the main, "moving" from the north of the coast south.

Gabicce Mare (Gabicce Mare) and Gabicche Monte (Gabicce Monte) - a single resort consisting of two levels, "beach" and "mountain", located on the top of the hill. Below - hotels, beaches and promenade; Upstairs - restaurants, noisy bars and discos.

Pesaro: The total length of the beaches of this city is about 8 km, of which three belong to the municipal beach. The coast is mostly sandy, the entrance to the water is low, the depth is small.

In the already mentioned Fano, two Beach - Pebble Sassonia Sassonia (Spiaggia Sassonia), along which the townspeople love to walk, and Sandy Schiajia Lido (Spiaggia Lido), more suitable for sunbathing and bathing, and therefore more popular. The farther from the city center - the greater the chance to find a free quiet, not filled with resting beach.

A little further Fano towards Ancona lies the city of Senigallia (Senigallia). His extended (more than 13 km) resort zone, called Speadja di Welluto, Velvet Beach, is known as the best beach of the Adriatic coast.

South Fano and Ancona to the San Benedetto del Tronto (San Benedetto del Tronto) along the seashore there are many small towns and villages offering visiting services: Portonovo (Portonovo), Sirolo (SiroLo) and others. One of them, Civitanova Mark (Civitanova Marche), is also well known to tourists seeking in the brand not only to wander through the historic streets, but also with comfort to relax at sea resorts.

San Benedetto del Tronto, located in the south of Mark, is one of the main centers of the resort life of the region. Its main attraction is a long palm alley that runs parallel to the coastline. She has seven thousand trees.
If you are more attracted to a lone rest away from expensive hotels and noisy restaurants, you can arrange a romantic ride on the beaches in the vicinity of Numana town (Numana) South Sirolo - Take the boat and go through it along the shore in search of a small deserted bay.

After halfway between Sirolo and San Benedetto del Tronto, near Fermo (Fermo), there is a place of Porto Sant'-Elpidio (Porto Sant'elpidio): a whole pine forest grows along the coast.

Having informing where to go to Italy, take the mark on the note. The region has all attractive components. Clean beaches of the Adriatic, a picturesque conero reserve, cute historical cities with attractions and what we love in Italy especially strongly, is an appetizing kitchen.

So far, there were no numerous holidaymakers that fill in the nearby Emily-Romanenia in the summer, hurry to see and feel. We have already visited and chose the main points for which you need to pay attention.

ADRIATIC SEA

180 kilometers of coastline, 9 bays and 16 beaches marked with a blue flag. In the brand there will be, where to sunbathe and swim. There are several places that can be chosen for beach holidays: Senigalia, San Benedetto del Tronto, Gabbic Mare.

Italians love Senigallia for sandy beaches. Palm trees are planted in San Benedetto along the embankment, and on the shore - white sand, because of what the town was called by Italian Miami.

Riviera Conero

In the brand of 12 natural parks protected by the state. We most liked the coast of Portonovo, surrounded by a picturesque Park Conero. Here and vegetation (connoisseurs of coniferous trees, the same as in Istria, will be happy to abound them here), and the mountains and the sea.

As an original place where to stay, we recommend the Fortino Napoleonico Di Portonovo Hotel - the former fort of Napoleon, located right in Conero Park, overlooking the Adriatic and a great restaurant for dinners.

And in general, the landscapes of the brand sometimes resemble the peaceful Tuscan - the same green hills and vintage houses, and the white tops of Appenin also can be seen away.

Loreto

From nature proceed to cultural values. The town of Loreto closest to the metropolitan ancona is glorified by its basil, where pilgrims come every year. Inside the church is Santa Casa - a house where Virgo Maria was born.

According to the legend, the house was transferred by the angels in 1291 from Nazareth, according to documents - its parts transported in the thirteenth century on the ship with the participation of a notable Italian family. By the end of the fifteenth century, Basilica was built for the relic. Now Santa Casa is located in a separate chapel along with the unusual statue of Black Madonna.

Ascoli

Ascoli founded Italian tribes before Rome, the road and the bridge were preserved from the ancient times. In the Middle Ages, the city became known as the "city of a hundred towers", which were noticeable at the entrance to Ascol.

In the photo: Central Square Ascol Piazza del Poppolo

Now Romanesque and Gothic towers remained significantly less, during walks you can try to recalculate them. The central square of Piazza-del Poppolo, paved by gray marble, is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy.

With the latter, you can argue, but do not miss the historic cafe MELETTI located here. Under the brand of Meletti 140 years, anise liqueur Anisetta is performed. In 1903, Meletti family bought a former post office building and turned it into an exquisite Art Deco coffee house.

Vaults in the cafe are painted by frescoes, the chandeliers are made in the form of anise leaves, marble tables and Viennese chairs look like 100 years ago.

You need to drink an anise liquor, biting coffee beans, or just coffee with the same liqueur. Meletti is so beautiful that it is impossible to quickly get away from there.

In the photo: Anisian liquor in the cafe Meletti, anise liqueur should be drunk with coffee beans made of glasses on a thick leg.

Urbino

From the point of view of attractions, urbino is considered the most attractive city. First, it is the birthplace of Raphael, the house of the artist's parents has been preserved here, which functions as a museum.

Secondly, the city is affecting its own Palazzo Ducale - the Ducal Renaissance Palace. It is included in the Heritage of UNESCO and is one of the most notable palaces of Italy. Palazzo Ducale was built under the supervision of the Duke Federico and Montefelto, fired in Urbino from the middle of the fifteenth century.

The portrait of Federico on the authorship of Pietro Della Francesca hangs in the Uffusion, and behind the duke's back at the city from the windows of the palace. The palace is designed as a fortress, on the facade - round towers inspired by the architecture of minarets. The Duke was a big fan of antiquity, ordered to build a palace "Temple of Muses" in the palace, and the portraits of Ptolemy, Plato and Aristotle hung in the office.

The walls in the cockpit are closed with inlaid wooden panels with an optical effect, it seems that astronomical devices and books are on the shelves. In the palace there are an impressive spiral staircase, as if infinite, and balconies with an impressive panorama. Get ready, the palace often drive school excursions, so it will be noisy.

PURCHASES

In the region, many factories of large Italian brands, and with them - shops and outlets. Buy Tod's, Hogan and Santoni shoes with a substantial discount - easily. To get to shops, you will have to take the car, the factory is removed from tourist destinations.

GASTRONOMY

Special attention will be paid to gastronomic pleasure, there are a lot of them here. The proximity of the Adriatic provides seafood.

Wild mussels are caught in Portonovo, which are served with butter and bread. The main pastes are those that with Langustins, shells and shrimp.

Try local variations prosciotto, for example, Prosciutto di Carpegna. In Mark, the wonderful rustic cheeses - Pekorino, the Facecloth (pulling cheese in cream), Ricotta, Buffal, as well as the Formaggio Di Fossa (solid cheese like pecorino, which is eaten with an apple confiter).

Special attention to the wonderful white wine vehicle Verdicchio. In Italy, the king of white wines is traditionally considered friulano from Friuli, but, as we see, if the winemakers are made by the promotion of Verdicchio, the position can be revised.

VERDICCHIO is a thin fragrant wine that began to do in the region from the 14th century, and its modern variations are perfectly combined with sea cuisine.

And finally, everyone who, with the word "truffles" begins to dream of a dreamily to take the nose. Here they are found! In the mountains of the northern part of the brand collect black and precious white truffles. In the region, they love to tell stories, as the cyclopic dimensions of the mushrooms were sent by John Paul II and recently Barack Obama. So the Piedmont has a competitor.

In the photo: Pasta with a crumb of truffles

We had the opportunity to taste black truffles in the excellent Osteria Dalla Peppa in Fano. The fungus cut into a pencil chips put on a toasted white bread as a snack to the "deshank", and then the same chips are added to TagliaThell in the oil sauce. We know that truffles are an amateur, but for our taste is breathtaking.

By the way, you will be in Fano (and then this accuracy will certainly need to be found), order a traditional La Moretta Fanese as a Dijestiva - hot coffee with rum, anise tincture and brandy. The ingredients are pillowed with layers when mixed, it turns out great.
