Visions on Grottammare

 

Grottammare is a small town along the coast. It is divided in two parts: an old part and a modern part.

The old part is on the hill and it is amazing and quiet: it is in medieval style, there is a very ancient and artistic church in late Baroque style called Saint Lucy an only one monument: the “torrione” .

From the torrione you can see an amazing view of the town and if you are lucky you can see the mountains of Croatia.

The modern part is situated along the coast and it is pretty and beautiful.

Grottammare is a tourist destination for the beach but also to have fun and enjoy the natural landscape. Grottammare has got three typical places : Fazzini square and Angels square in the heart of the town; Kursaal square along the beach.

Grottammare is a very green place: there are several orange trees, pine and fir plants. Oranges and the palms are the characteristic plants of Grottammare.
