Cupra Marittima

Cupra Marittima stretches along the Adriatic coast at 4 meters above sea level, featuring beaches and rolling hills with vineyards and olive groves.

The area holds remains of an ancient sanctuary dedicated to the Sabine goddess Cupra, which Emperor Hadrian restored in 127 AD at La Civita site.

The archaeological museum presents prehistoric, Picena, and Roman artifacts, including fragments of calendars, statues, and elaborate frescoes from excavated structures.

Visitors can explore local markets, traditional restaurants, and archaeological sites while staying in accommodations near the Adriatic beaches.

Recent excavations in 2022 revealed detailed frescoes within the temple cella, demonstrating sophisticated Roman architectural techniques and decorative arts.
