San Ginesio

It is called the balcony of the Sibillini: from 680 metres the view runs from the Conero to the Sibillini peaks and on to the Gran Sasso. Also known as the town of a hundred churches, San Ginesio keeps its medieval walls with towers and arrow slits, and a Collegiata with a late-Gothic terracotta façade from 1421. Its patron, the Roman mime Genesius, is the patron saint of actors.
