Sirolo

Sirolo is a coastal town in the Province of Ancona, nestled on the slopes of Monte Conero and surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation. The settlement spreads across different levels, providing access to several beaches with white pebble shores situated below the built-up area.

The settlement began in medieval times as a fortified stronghold of the Conti Cortesi family, maintaining its strategic position overlooking the Adriatic coast. The original defensive layout continues to shape how the town is organized today.

The town maintains a strong connection to the sea and fishing traditions, visible in everyday routines and local eating habits. Seafood remains central to both daily meals and celebrations, shaping how residents and visitors experience the place.

The main beaches are accessible on foot from the town center via well-marked paths, reachable within a short walk. Comfortable walking shoes are useful since the pathways navigate different elevation levels and can be steep in places.

Due Sorelle Beach takes its name from two identical rock formations rising from the water, appearing like twin sisters at the shoreline. These distinctive stones serve as a natural landmark visible from far across the coast.
