Numana
is placed on one of the most beautiful parts of the
Adriatic coast. From its gardens of Piazza Nova you
can see standing out to the north the magnificent
limestone headland of Monte Conero, the central area
of the park of the same name.
The town is divided in two for the inhabitants: Numana
Alta and Numana Bassa. The first represents the oldest
part with its houses of white limestone the narrow
streets of the area of the "Tower", the
Bishops palace, today the seat of the town council
and the piazza.
The second is as you might say the younger. Here you
will find infact the tourist porticciolo and the beach
equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas. More to the south
rises the hamlet of Marcelli, a more modern area where
you can experience the Numanian lively night-life
So Numana becomes a good amalgamation of ancient and
modern. A town in which you may pass the time enjoyably
and cheerfully on the beach or in the silence of the
alleys of the old city where sometimes, at dawn it
is said, you can still hear the ancient calls of the
old fishermen who are preparing to go trawling "sciabiga".
