Sirolo is a beautiful medieval village set between the green of the mountain and the blue of the sea, is considered "the pearl of the Adriatic": a precious art treasure chest set in a breathtaking landscape.
The scenery is that of the Riviera del Conero, at the foot of a mountain suddenly rising above the sea, with white pebble beaches and a blue sea.

Around the year 1000, in front of the raids and barbarians and the need to defend themselves, Sirolo acquired its own identity as a fortified fortress. To defend themselves against the barbarians, the Siroles built a series of underground galleries that formed a true hidden city where he lived while continuing to trade hidden, this town was in the Middle Ages one of the most important centers of encounter of Franciscan movements and All those monastic orders that awaited the return of the Church to the original spirit of the Gospel and who, persecuted, took refuge in Sirolo and Conero.
Despite catastrophic natural events, the Sirolo Castle remained untouched throughout the Middle Ages. It still preserves the semblance of the Middle Ages, the castle, the towers and the walls make us believe that time has never passed and still resurfaces the ancient medieval atmosphere. The village, with its streets and alleyways, develops today out of the medieval town, from a beautiful road leading from the square to the last outskirts of the city, to the vineyards, which today, centuries ago, touch the doors of the houses.

Set on a hill at 125 meters high, between the green of the mountain and the blue of the sea. Its enchanting location has long been a destination for holidaying for Italians and foreigners, attracted by the unrivaled color of its sea, its rocks and its beaches, even its history.
Walking through the walls you can still see one of the ancient towers. Walking alleys only on foot still preserve the ancient medieval atmosphere today.
The cozy square, whose shapes resemble a cruise ship, illuminates the night: outdoor coffee tables extend to give the summer auditorium opportunities for meetings and appointments between ice cream, aperitifs and music.

The only emergency (572 meters) overlooking the middle Adriatic, the promontory of the Conero is the heart of the homonymous Regional Park. Established in 1987 and managed today by an autonomous body, the territory of the Conero Park falls in the municipalities of Ancona, Sirolo, Camerano and Numana and extends over 6000 hectares of protected area, offering to the sight of places and landscapes of great suggestion: Portonovo Bay, Two Sisters Beach, panoramic balconies overlooking the sea or facing the gentle hillside of the interior.

I would like to hear hikers crossing the Park winding among plants of broods, broomsticks, holm oaks, pines, immersed in the magic of the Mediterranean scrub: the many botanical species that represent it are in the Park their natural habitat and constitute a third of the entire floral heritage Of the Marche.
A major site for transhipment of rapeseed along the routes of spring migrations, the promontory of Conero hosts, on the imposing rocky cliffs overlooking the sea, rare species of nesting birds such as the pilgrim falcon or pale swallows.
The geological stratigraphs that form the Conero Mountain, of world-recognized scientific importance, are also a source of extraordinary knowledge for reading the oldest history of our planet.
