Discover Marina Di Montemarciano

Marina Di Montemarciano can be explored through several specific interests: church art, local history, the coast and cycling. Highlights include the mosaics in the parish church of Santa Maria della Neve and San Rocco, and the Mandracchio with its architectural history. There are also traces of a Roman settlement, a beach in the municipality’s coastal area, and an alternative route on the CA 40 – Via del Conero. If you are looking for a hotel, this variety can help you decide what to focus on during your stay.

Church, Mosaics and History

The parish church of Santa Maria della Neve and San Rocco in Marina di Montemarciano contains more than 100 square metres of mosaic walls in the choir and the side chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. Jesuit Marko Ivan Rupnik and the studio of the Centro Aletti in Rome, which he directed, were selected to create the mosaics. The church is open daily from 7:30 am to 12:00 pm and from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Check the opening hours again before your visit, as they may change.

The parish’s history is also precisely dated: the parish of Case Bruciate in Montemarciano—now Marina di Montemarciano—was established on January 31, 1853, under the title Santa Maria della Neve and San Rocco. Recent finds show that the area of Marina di Montemarciano was the site of a Roman settlement. This places a connection to a Roman settlement alongside the dated establishment of a parish in the 19th century.

The Mandracchio and Its Architectural History

The Mandracchio is located on State Road 16 in Marina di Montemarciano. It was probably built as a defensive tower at the end of the 14th century. By the end of the 16th century, it was a building with an enclosed courtyard, two entrances—one facing the sea and one inland—towers facing the sea, and numerous rooms for accommodating travellers, goods and animals. When considering its history, distinguish its probable origins as a defensive tower from the architectural form described at the end of the 16th century.

Planning for the Coast and Cycling Route

The coastal area of the municipality of Montemarciano, which includes Marina di Montemarciano, has about five kilometres of well-equipped beach. This is an approximate length. As conditions along the shore can change, check the current situation before visiting the beach.

On route CA 40 – Via del Conero, there is a 500-metre alternative along the main road. The route then continues towards Falconara Marittima on cycle paths and minor roads. The route description therefore includes both a section on the main road and the continuation on other roads; take both into account when planning.
