Ascoli Piceno
Ascoli Piceno, “the city of a hundred towers”, nestled between two rivers, offers all who visit stunning views, hidden corners, historic streets and the essence of history.
Throughout the historic centre you will find Travertine, a traditional local stone. The entire Piazza del Popolo square and the main churches of Ascoli were built using this magnificent stone that adds elegance and refinement to this city that is already a beauty in and of itself.
Here are our recommendations on what to visit during your stay.
Piceno certainly has no shortage of remarkable small villages ready to charm anyone who decides to visit them. Don’t miss:
- Offida
- Monsampolo
- Ripatransone
- Acquaviva Picena
- Grottammare Alto
- Castignano
- Civitella del Tronto
The Riviera delle Palme

If you want to head further north, a little over an hour's drive will take you to the enchanting Riviera del Conero, which boasts some of the most hidden and authentic beaches.
Moving toward the mountains, we can’t forget our wonderful Monti Sibillini National Park, just a short distance away.
Skiing enthusiasts should head for our Montagna dei Fiori (Mountain of Flowers) and its slopes in the village of San Giacomo, at an altitude of 1,643 m, just 20 km from our city centre.
Spanning over 150,000 hectares, the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park is one of Italy’s largest parks.
