It is divided into two distinct parts, the old town on Mount Guasco and the modern part on the coast and is a city full of charm.
Among the major monuments of the city, the Cathedral of San Ciriaco, with its facade of white and pink marble.
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale delle Marche, which houses many finds from the Iron Age and civilizations that have inhabited the Adriatic coast (Piceni, Greeks and Romans).
The church of S. Maria della Piazza, of Romanesque origin, dating back to the XI century.
The Arch of Trajan, built in 115 by Apollodorus of Damascus and the Mole Vanvitelliana, a grand military building designed by Vanvitelli (hence the name) in the XVIII century.
In recent years the Teatro delle Muse, destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in a contemporary style, was returned to the city.
