Giulianova, an "ideal city" of the Renaissance
Giulianova appears today as a modern and balanced town, grown up following the lines of the hilly landscape on which it extends and respecting the sinuous border of the sea and its wide sandy beach. Such urban harmony is no coincidence: not everyone knows that Giulia (today Giulianova) was an "ideal Renaissance city".
Giulianova Alta - The History
Its streets and squares, churches and all the structures respond to a general project of functionality and liveability, full of cultured symbolic references, inspired by the most advanced ideas of the humanists Leon Battista Alberti and Francesco By Giorgio Martini.
Giulianova is also rich in historical monuments, among which the Duomo di San Flaviano, known as "la Rotonda", and the Sanctuary of the Madonna dello Splendore. The latter is one of the best-known Marian places in Central and Southern Italy and hosts thousands of pilgrims every year. It can be reached by taking a pleasant walk along the Viale dello Splendore, where you can admire magnificent examples of Art Nouveau villas, such as Villa Castelli, with its tower covered with majolica, and Villa De Santis with its reliefs.
Giulianova Lido - The Beach
Those who choose the tranquility of Giulianova Lido cannot help but take a stroll along the monumental seafront, ideal for beautiful walks without ever losing sight the sea. From here, walking or cycling along the cycle path, you can reach the port. The south pier, with its ramps, the ancient large fishing nets, the fishermen and the card games, is a timeless spectacle.
The beach here is characterized by fine, golden sand, while the sea, which has won the Blue Flag award several times b> due to the quality of its waters, it has a shallow seabed which degrades slowly. The almost two kilometer long coastline is full of beach establishments offering various services, making it ideal for families with children and for all those who want a comfortable, equipped and safe beach. Its seafront surrounded by flowers and evergreen trees such as palms, oleanders and pines also hosts a beautiful cycle path that allows you to admire landscapes and wonderful views of the coast. Sports lovers will also be able to have fun given the opportunity to practice different activities such as tennis, swimming, bowls, mini golf, skating but also snorkeling and underwater fishing.
