The Old Country, corresponding to the current corso Castel San Giorgio, represents the original nucleus of the ancient village and the city port, where the Adriatic Sea once reached. Characterized by three pointed arches that marked the landing area for boats, the site today offers a charming walk along the castle walls that leads to the Merlata Tower or Turrimagna.
The area historically known as the Old Country, located in the current corso Castel San Giorgio, constituted the heart of the original structure of Porto San Giorgio. In the past, the geographical layout was profoundly different, as the waters of the Adriatic Sea reached directly to this point, making it the nerve center of port activities. The ancient port was delimited at both ends by three characteristic pointed arches, which marked the exact place where boats docked for the unloading of goods and passengers.
Today, this area retains the charm of its historical function and serves as a starting point for a tourist itinerary of great scenic value. From here, it is indeed possible to take a walk along the perimeter of the castle walls, a route that allows one to admire the ancient defensive wall until reaching the Merlata Tower, also known as Turrimagna, an architectural symbol of the fishing village.
Porto San Giorgio is located on the Adriatic coast, in the province of Fermo. It is easy to reach by car via the A14 motorway, taking the Porto San Giorgio–Fermo exit, or along the SS16 Adriatica road, which runs through the town and connects the main destinations on the Marche coast.
Porto San Giorgio has its own railway station, Porto S. Giorgio–Fermo, conveniently located close to the town centre and the seafront. From the station, many central areas of the town, the beach and the main services can be reached on foot.
When visiting Porto San Giorgio, you can leave your car in the parking areas near the railway station, which are convenient for both the town centre and the seafront. Other useful reference areas include Piazza Mentana, Via degli Oleandri and Lungomare Gramsci, where paid parking spaces are available at certain times of the year. During the summer season, a large parking area is also available on Lungomare Gramsci Nord, near the high-rise building, especially useful for those heading to the beach and the northern part of the town. In summer or during events, it is advisable to check local signs and any temporary parking restrictions.
