Canon EOS 250D | 29mm | 1/2000s | f/5.6 | ISO 100 Taken on 18/10/2020. Straddling a hilltop and visible from miles around, Loreto is dominated by the domed Basilica della Santa Casa. This magnificent basilica is a major pilgrimage site and ensures a year-round stream of visitors to what is otherwise a tranquil country town. Built between 1469 and 1587, it is a stunning hybrid of Gothic and Renaissance styles with a white two-tier facade, soaring dome and 75m-high bell tower by Luigi Vanvitelli. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: Loreto is best reached by bus from Ancona with the company 'ATMA Ancona'. Alternatively, take a train from Ancona to Porto Recanati and get the bus to Loreto with 'Contram Mobilità'. You could even take the train to Loreto, but I haven't seen many buses departing from the station. ______________________________________ #Loreto #VolgoAncona #VivoAncona #VivoMarche #Marche #Ig_Marche #IgersMarche #LeMarche #Italia #Italy #EstateItaliana #EstateTrenItalia #CorriereDellaSera #PromozioneDelTerritorio #Living_Destinations #CanonItalia #TravelPhotographer #FollowYourDreams #Italian_Places #Marche_Illife #MarcheTourism #VisitMarche #MarcheTravel #DiscoverMarche #Travel_Europe #Marche_Photogroup #Marche_In_Grande #WhatItalyIs #BellaItalia #TravellingTheWorld (at Loreto, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRe4AWhF78S/?utm_medium=tumblr
