Portici Ercolani, Portico in Senigallia, Italy
The Portici Ercolani extends along the right bank of the Misa River with 126 arches constructed from Istrian stone, forming a continuous covered walkway.
Pope Benedict XIV commissioned the portico during the mid-18th century to accommodate the annual Maddalena Fair, which attracted merchants from across the Mediterranean region.
The portico design by Monsignor Giuseppe Maria Ercolani represents a prime example of 18th-century architectural style from the Marche region of Italy.
Multiple restaurants and shops line the portico, including Pizzeria Del Portico at number 54, which operates from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM Monday through Saturday.
The original architectural plans included extending the portico to the left bank of the Misa River, but this extension never materialized due to excessive construction costs.
