Facts and practical information

The church of Santa Maria di Portonovo is a valuable example of Romanesque architecture in the Marche region. Nestled in the natural setting of the Conero Riviera, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, it is an example of the balance between nature and architecture. In fact, it rises on the slopes of the backside of Mount Conero, on a cliff overlooking the beach of Portonovo, a town in the municipality of Ancona.
