Riviera delle Palme — Grottammare
Marche
Grottammare's hilltop medieval quarter was the birthplace of Pope Sixtus V (1521-1590), who built St Peter's dome and the Vatican Library. The walk from the beach resort to the hilltop village passes through steep lanes of bougainvillea and jasmine. From the top, on clear days, the Sibillini mountains are visible inland.
