Porto San Giorgio overlooks the Adriatic Sea in the province of Fermo. It is an important seaside resort with a sandy beach, numerous accommodation facilities, and a well-equipped marina.
The village also preserves notable historical and cultural interest sites, including Rocca Tiepolo, Villa Bonaparte, the Church of the Holy Souls, and the Museum of the Sea.
Rocca Tiepolo stands mighty with its five towers surmounted by Guelph Merlons and offers visitors an exciting excursion in the name of history.
Built-in 1267 at the behest of the mayor of Fermo, Lorenzo
Tiepolo, this imposing castle observed and defended the coast from pirate attacks.
Villa Bonaparte, commissioned by Napoleon's brother, Girolamo Bonaparte, who stayed in Porto San Giorgio between 1829 and 1832, is surrounded by a splendid garden and represents a classic example of a neoclassical building. Among bas-reliefs, frescoes, and mosaic floors, the residence shows us the typical splendor of the Empire style.
The Church of the Madonna del Carmine (or of the Holy
Souls) dates back to the second half of the 1600s. Inside we find one of the most beautiful representations by Francesco Trevisani: a canvas from 1695 in which the Madonna del Carmine, San Nicola, and San Giovanni intercede for the salvation of the Souls in Purgatory.
The Sea Museum contains the sea's essence and the fishermen's hard work who represent the soul of the entire Marche coast.
The collection of objects contained in the museum is exhibited on the ground floor of the beautiful Villa Degli Oleandri.
On the table
Since we like to know the local specialties, tasting the garagoli (sea snails in a broth of red sauce and spices) is a must.
