In addition to the many beauties of the city, in Ancona you can admire the sun both rising and setting in the sea, a unique spectacle in Italy. This is made possible by the outstretched and at the same time closed-in conformation of the city. Not surprisingly, the name Ancona comes from the Greek Ἀγκών, ankòn, which means “elbow”. For this reason, Ancona is called the city of the two suns.
