Fermo
This medieval city has preserved its ancient identity over the centuries. The Cathedral, built on the ruins of a pagan temple, the underground cisterns from Roman times and the famous Sala del Mappamondo in the Palazzo dei Priori are some of the must-sees.

Porto San Giorgio
Right on the coast, promenades on the seafront in this seaside town are surrounded by century-old palm trees and early 20th-century Art Nouveau buildings. Great for evening entertainment, it is also perfect for families thanks to the large play area on the seafront in Bambinopoli Square.

On the hill of Moresco, listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, its castle towers over everything, surrounded by walls. From here you can see the view ranging from Mount Conero to Gran Sasso! Get lost in the alleys, discover the ancient towers of the village, the church turned into a portico, the art gallery and even lu teatrì, the small theater of the former church of Santa Sofia, now deconsecrated.

Monterubbiano
Monterubbiano has received the Touring Club's Orange Flag, making it among the best villages to visit in the hinterland. Its history is full of charm, from the ancient medieval setting to the supremacy of the Sforza family, which then went to the Church. Try the famous “fried tagliatelle,” from the very secret recipe born within the village.

Ripatransone
Called the “belvedere of Piceno,” from this Touring Club Orange Flag town you can enjoy one of the best views in the surrounding area! What's more, it has a singular attraction among its streets: the narrowest alley in Italy, so tiny that it doesn't even have a name, just 43 centimeters long.

Grottammare alta
Originally a medieval village in the town of Grottammare, it is a small town gathered on the edge of a hill overlooking the sea. The walk among its rustic houses and narrow streets is so enjoyable, coupled with the scent of orange groves.
