Typical for the most southern province of Le Marche are the many palm trees, that grow in rows along the boulevards at the Adriatic coast. For example at San Benedetto del Tronto, one of the biggest ports of Italy, and the Medieval village Grottamare that rises up on top of a hill over the sea.

The capital Ascoli is a lovely city, with an impressive Medieval Piazza del Popolo in the historic centre. A city with it's own atmospere, rich in monuments, archeological sites, museums and churches. The antique rivalry between Ascoli and Fermo provided both cities with splendid buildings and towers, comparible with the campanilismo between Siena and Florence.
