Facts and practical information

The hermitage of San Marco is a hermitage located in the municipality of Ascoli Piceno, south of the city. The religious building, dedicated to St. Mark the Evangelist, owned by the city and inherited by the Sgariglia family, is clinging to the rock face of San Marco Hill, near the hamlet of Piagge. The building represents an important memory of art and spirituality for the city of Ascoli. Visible from Piazza del Popolo, it has watched over the Tronto Valley for many centuries, glimpsing the wide panorama that reaches as far as the Adriatic Sea.
