The splendid City of Loreto, tucked inside the countryside of the Marches Region, owes its fame to the Sanctuary (or Basilica) where the Santa Casa della Vergine Maria (Shrine of the Holy House of the Virgin Mary) is preserved and venerated. It is a holy place defined by Pope John Paul II as “the true Marian heart of Christianity.” The sanctuary has been one of the most important pilgrimage sites for the Catholic faith for centuries, having been visited by approximately 200 saints and beatified persons, as well as by numerous Popes.

Tourist Attraction

Le Marche is situated in central Italy. Known for its wine and stone hill villages, it is the perfect Renaissance hideaway. These recommendations will guide you toward the little treasures even the locals forget about. Grotte di Frasassi - Coined as the centre of the Earth, these caves are some of the the largest and most famous underground caverns in Italy. It may be cold but this crystalline wonderland is completely worth it. The factions from the theatrical lighting light up the beams and walkways which lead to displays showcasing the most extravagant stalagmites and stalactites. Abazzia di Fiastra - The Abbazia di Chiaravalle di Fiastra can be found between Tolentino and Urbisaglia. Surrounded by art, culture and history, there is nowhere else better to get lost in that the centre of the Abbazia di Fiastra. One of the best preserved Cistercian abbeys in Italy, it happens to be enclosed by a large nature reserve. The church is dedicated to Santa Maria di Chiaravalle di Fiastra. Castello di Gradara - The Gradara Castle is a medieval fortress that is located in the town of Gradara. The Gradara Castle dates back to the period between the 11th and 15th centuries. Dante turned the castle into a symbol of love by making it the central location for his characters Paolo and Francesca. The castle is one of the most visited monuments in the region which is no surprise; it is particularly striking at night when the underlying village is lit up. Ascoli Piceno - Bordering two national parks and mountains on three sides, Ascoli Piceno is a charming town whose Piazza del Popolo is considered to be one of the most beautiful town squares of the BelPaese. However, it could be its Christmas market and ice skating rink which sets it apart from the other local towns. With fake snow scattered around the town, markets with hot chocolate and the fairy lights twinkling and lighting up the bell tower in the centre, there is nowhere else to feel more Christmassy in true Italian style. Casa Leopardi, Recanati - Giacomo Leopardi was born in this exact house the 29th June 1798 where his heirs still live. He has been referred to as a desperate academic, a lost traveller and a poetic maniac. Despite this though, he will always be remembered as one of the most radical thinkers of the 19th century. At 19 he embarked on his own literary evolution and become a central figure in international literature. It is easy to imagine the infamous Silvia from his balcony or the country folk still working the markets of Reccanati. Sferisterio, Macerata -Verona may be the city which inspired Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and which is renowned for its opera but the Sferisterio in Macerata stands as one of Europe’s most stunning theatres in its own right. Built between 1820 and 1829, it remains the backdrop to the Opera Festival. It’s a formidable amphitheatre which regularly hosts the experts in the operatic world. Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini - Monti Sibillini Park offers the opportunity to visit Le Marche throughout the centuries. You can see the various wonders which have been curated by man throughout this time. Its highest peak, Monte Vettore, reaches 8,132 ft above sea level; it is Italy at its most authentic, which is not only an cultural experience but an intently engaging environment. Basilica di San Nicola, Tolentino - St. Nicholas was a 13th century saint known for the miracles he performed each day. Tolentino is well worth a trip to visit this little treasure which the locals use for their morning mass service. The basilica consists of the main altarpiece which was created by Machisiano , the main church and then the wall paintings which were created shortly after the saint’s death. Lago di Fiasta, Fiastra - Whether you are going to tan, swim or even canoe, this lake offers everything. It takes on a beautiful aquamarine colour during the summer and if you wish to have a break from the heat, there is the bridge at San Lorenzo which leads you to the castle and tower on the hill which overlooks the amazing lake itself. Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle, Sirolo - Located in Sirolo, it could be considered a trek to find it (which is why we recommend the shuttle bus) but a view of the crystal blue ocean awaits you. The beach itself is dominated by two magnificent white rocks which emerge from the sea, meaning that it is a secluded paradise from masses of tourists.
