Mole Vanvitelliana
It is an 18th-century building designed on the water by Luigi Vanvitelli, now connected to the mainland by three bridges. The Mole has cobblestone paving.
Free parking is available near the Mole Vanvitelliana. There are three parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities along the access road to the Mole.
There are two entrances to the Mole:
- one is located near Porta Pia and the Customs House: a bridge leads to a monumental white stone gateway, topped by a coat of arms and a flag;
- the other is located near the Fish Market: a long bridge leads to a large iron gate; the red sculpture “Cavallo” by Mimmo Paladino rises above the perimeter walls.
To reach the Museo Omero, visitors need to go up to the inner courtyard of the Mole, where there are two entrances:
- one is at the top of a monumental white staircase, marked by an arch;
- the other, equipped with a lift, is on the ground floor: after passing through a small wooden door, please ring the bell.
People with reduced mobility can drive directly into the courtyard of the Mole Vanvitelliana. For further assistance, please contact Ancona Servizi on +39 333 616 6898 or the Museo Omero by phone or WhatsApp on +39 335 569 6985.
