Just a few kilometers from the Conero Riviera, Agugliano is a small village in the Ancona hinterland which, in the Middle Ages, was one of the twenty castles charged with defending the city of Ancona. Today it is an ideal destination for a break from seaside life, immersed in the tranquility of the Marche hills and rich in historical heritage.
Agugliano is also the perfect starting point for those wishing to discover the “Land of Castles,” a fascinating itinerary that crosses fortified villages and ancient strongholds that once protected Ancona and Jesi.
Just a few minutes from the center lies the hamlet of Castel d’Emilio, a little gem nestled among the hills. Here you can still see the ancient defensive walls, the original entrance, and three interval towers, which tell the medieval history of the territory.
Agugliano is also a culturally lively village: since 2001 it has hosted the Dialect Theater Festival, an event that celebrates Marche’s popular culture thanks to the commitment of the association “La Guglia.”
Among the most anticipated events is the Artisanal Gelato Festival, which enlivens the historic center in the first half of June: master gelato makers from all over Italy and abroad transform the town’s streets into a sweet and tasty journey, between classic flavors and original creations.
Agugliano is the perfect destination for those looking for a different day out, combining history, local events, and authentic flavors, just a few kilometers from the beaches of the Conero Riviera.
