The Marina of Porto San Giorgio, built in 1984, is among the largest in the Adriatic with over a thousand boat places and nine Blue Flags for efficiency. The area hosts a large section dedicated to fishing, whose local history dates back to the 1500s.
The Marina of Porto San Giorgio is one of the largest facilities in the Adriatic, covering an area of 140,000 square meters and about a thousand boat places. Established in 1984, where the first pier was built in 1954, the port has received nine Blue Flags over the years for its organization and cleanliness. In addition to recreational boating, it houses an area dedicated to fishing, an activity that evolved from ancient techniques of the 1500s to a more organized system by the mid-19th century.
The symbol of this tradition is La Vittoriosa, an 80-year-old fishing boat over 9 meters long. It is the only “lancetta” still sailing in Italian waters and the last remaining of the old fishing fleet from Southern Marche. The boat features a brightly colored sail, orange with a large red sun, and is used for events and itineraries that tell the story and maritime traditions of the central Adriatic.
The tourist marina is located along the southern seafront of Porto San Giorgio. It can be reached by car via the A14 motorway, taking the Porto San Giorgio–Fermo exit, or along the SS16 Adriatica road.
Porto S. Giorgio–Fermo railway station is conveniently located close to the town centre and the seafront. From the station, the marina can be reached by local transport, taxi or with a longer walk.
Parking areas are available near the marina and the southern seafront. During busier periods, check local signs and availability.
The Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Corva is a place of deep Marian devotion. Originating from the 16th century and originally dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, the church became famous for the miraculous event of 1829, when the statue of the Virgin of Sorrows opened its arms before the faithful.
Built between 1898 and 1920 in a neo-Gothic style, it houses a delicate Holy Family (1750), attributed to the painter Filippo Ricci. Externally, the facade presents a simple and linear style, while the interior, with a single nave, retains fine furnishings and decorations.
The Porta da Sole is one of the ancient entrances to the castle of Altidona (13th-14th century). Initially called Porta da Capo, it later took its current name due to its southern exposure.
