Ancona,
the capital of the Marche, is a big seaside city built on two hills with its
harbour between them. Ancona was settled by both the Greeks and the Romans and
was an important port in the middle ages. Unfortunately Ancona was bombed
during World War II and then hit by an earthquake in 1972 but some of its old
buildings still remain. There are good views from the high parts of the town.
