La città di Grottammare
Grottammare si affaccia sulla costa adriatica tra il verde delle sue pinete, degli aranceti e delle palme, con le sue spiagge dorate e il limpido chiarore del mare. Le acque pulite, il litorale di sabbia finissima, l’incanto dei suggestivi scorci del borgo antico e la rigogliosa vegetazione, compongono un affresco di colori e profumi dimenticati che rendono unica la nostra cittadina.
San Martino’s Fair
One of the most expected event of the annual calendar and a historical celebration, it is a firm point also for neighbouring villages.
St. Paternian’s Fest
St. Pius V’s Church
The Church represents the centre of the urban widening of Grottammare designed by the architect Pietro Augustoni, in 1779, who designed at the same time the building. The portal has been designed by the sculptor Aldo Sergiacomi.
Matricardi Cottage
The Matricardi Cottage is a result of the flourishing building activity between the 19th and the 20th century that spread around Grottammare in conjunction with the trend of the wealthy families to commission “vacation houses” to popular and specialist architects, as Grottammare is well-known to be a holiday resort. It is the most significant clue of the Art Nouveau in our city.
Sisto V, il Papa Tosto
Pope Sixtus V (1521 – 1590), born Felice Peretti di Montalto, was the head of the Catholic Church from April 24, 1585 to his death in 1590. He is the last Pope to take the name "Sixtus" upon his election.
Laureati Palace
The present building is the widening result of an original holiday resort erected at the end of XVIII century by the bishop of Ripatransone, Bartolomeo Bacher, passionate agronomist, who decided to move his residence to Grottammare and improved the cultivation of orange trees. When the bishop became very old, decided to sell some of his properties, among which the villas in Grottammare, that in 1807 was bought by the Laureati Family, who took measure to widen it.
