"Buildings on the slopes" Top 5 Page for this destination Ancona Things to Do Tip by Airpunk

The old town of Ancona is build on two hills and many buildings are built on its slopes. This resulted in a sometimes strange architecture, involving even different styles. Many buildings have entrances close to the port and more of them on a higher leven, just a couple of floors above the first ones. The lack of space made many buildings grew into each other. Try to find your way from the harbour to the old town via stairs and get your own impression of it. You may see, roman, romanesque, gothic, renaissance, baroque, neogothic and other styles mixing with each other in a single building.

Directions: From the old town, downstairs – from the port, upstairs
