SENIGALLIA AND ITS PORT
Welcome to Senigallia, an old town on the Adriatic coast with a rich historical and artistic heritage of great beauty.
Churches, museums, palaces, squares, together with Rocca Roveresca, create an urban texture made of stories, traditions, artistic heritage and monuments.
The circular structure of Foro Annonario designed by Pietro Ghinelli in 1834 is still the site of the market, but also of the municipal library, archives and media library. The round square reaches the Ercolani porticoes and reaches the Duomo. Behind Foro Annonario is Palazzo del Duca (Duke’s Palace) and Rocca Roveresca built by Giovanni Della Rovere according to the design of architects Laurana and Pontelli in 1480.

Foro Annonario

The Neoclassical structure with an elliptical shape, known as Foro Annonario, was erected in 1834 according to the design by architect Pietro Ghinelli. It is the historic venue of the local fruit and vegetable market: in summer, Foro Annonario becomes an evocative setting for shows, concerts and all sorts of events.

ROCCA ROVERESCA

Rocca Roveresca is an illustrious example of military architecture from the Renaissance. The ancient fortress was the home of the Lords of Senigallia: the Della Rovere family.
The current structure of the monument is due to Giovanni della Rovere, Lord of Senigallia and son-in-law of Federico III da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino. It was precisely Duke Federico who provided Giovanni with the best architects of the time: Luciano Laurana and Baccio Pontelli. The works began in 1478 with the aim of adapting the fortress to the new defensive needs. In 1503 the fortress was conquered by Cesare Borgia, who carried out the famous massacre of Senigallia described by Niccolò Machiavelli.

CHIESA DELLA CROCE

Just two steps away from the Town Hall and the main street (Corso II Giugno) is the Church of the Cross. It is a true and authentic jewel: the sober late Renaissance façade conceals a rich and opulent Baroque interior, with Federico Barocci's masterpiece "Burial of Christ".
TEATRO LA FENICE

Teatro La Fenice is the city's historic theater. It was rehabilitated in 1996 on the same site as the old Teatro La Fenice of 1839 and the previous municipal theater of 1830.
It rests on the intersection of the main roads of the Roman Sena Gallica (La Fenice archaeological area) and is used as theater, concert hall, cinema, convention hall. Inside, Enzo Cucchi's curtain is a unique and original work of contemporary art of extraordinary quality.
