Ancona also has one very special feature: it is the only Italian city from which you can admire both sunrise and sunset over the sea.<\/p>\n<p>The privileged vantage point for this spectacle is the <strong>Cathedral of San Ciriaco<\/strong>, a splendid Romanesque-Byzantine cathedral overlooking the sea. From this, the highest point in the city, descending towards the port you come across the harmonious <strong>Piazza del Plebiscito<\/strong>, the <strong>Passetto<\/strong> park, the <strong>Church of Santa Maria della Piazza<\/strong>, before reaching the <strong>Arch of Trajan<\/strong> and the <strong>Mole Vanvitelliana<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you also enjoy <strong>underground itineraries<\/strong>, in recent years the most hidden side of this Marche city has been gradually rediscovered.<\/p>\n<p>From a small door in the beautiful <strong>Fontana del Calamo<\/strong>, or from a manhole in Piazza Stamira, you can access the network of tunnels that once carried and distributed water throughout Ancona.

In the underpass connecting Via Cialdini and Via Astagno. The subjects depicted are vividly colourful: scarecrows, flying houses, three-dimensional staircases, fairy-tale figures, dreamlike themes and trains from a world of fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>We point out the work by Bolognese artist Percy Bertolini, inspired by a real figure, <strong>the young shepherd Attilio<\/strong>, who in the early 20th century, at the age of seven, was already taking sheep to graze on the mountains of the <strong>Conero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>The child is brought into the present, portrayed in black and white, street-style, with a bundle of wood on his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting, and slightly unsettling, is the nearby subject depicting a series of red cars trapped among the white roots of trees.<\/p>\n<p>The artist is Yiuri Hopnn. The lively, fairy-tale animals created by <strong>street artist Daniela Nasoni<\/strong> stand out among low walls and stairways. On a pillar appears her sailing ship, which stimulates the imagination simply by looking at it. Others include the Milanese artist Tobet with his three-dimensional works and the alien figures by Mandarino.<\/p>\n<h3>How to get to the Capodimonte district<\/h3>\n<p>Those arriving by car in the Capodimonte district can leave it at the <strong>Cialdini car park<\/strong> and continue on foot for a short stretch. Alternatively, you can use the <strong>Traiano car park<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>On foot from Corso Mazzini, you reach the district by making a short detour via Largo Sacramento. From the railway station, take bus line 1\/4, get off at Piazza Kennedy and then walk 250 metres.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"wpb_wrapper td_block_separator td_block_wrap vc_separator tdi_40  td_separator_solid td_separator_center\"><span style=\"border-color:juicy_pink;border-width:1px;width:100%;\"><\/span><\/div>[vc_column_text]<div class='code-block code-block-6' style='margin: 8px auto;
