Hiking
The Cathedral of San Ciriaco is the spectacular landmark of Ancona, majestically enthroned on top of Guasco Hill! 🏛️🌊 The impressive cathedral combines Romanesque and Byzantine architecture and welcomes you at the main portal with its famous two red marble lions 🦁✨ Pro tip: The climb up is especially worth it for the scenery! From the cathedral square, you have an unobstructed 360-degree view of the Adriatic Sea and the bustling activity in the port 📸⛵ Come in the late afternoon – the warm sunlight on the white stone walls and the sea in the background are simply breathtaking! 🌅💙

It stands in a spectacular panoramic position on the summit of Colle Guasco, an ancient promontory that dominates the entire gulf and the Doric port, offering an extraordinary view of the Adriatic Sea at both sunrise and sunset
