Ancona Cathedral (Cattedrale di San Ciriaco)
Ancona, Italy
Ancona Cathedral, or Cattedrale di San Ciriaco, is an imposing Romanesque church that dates back to the 11th century, perched on a hill overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Its striking façade, crafted from local white and pink stone, features an amalgamation of architectural styles and boasts a majestic rose window alongside intricate carvings celebrating various saints.
