San Francesco alle Scale: Ancona’s Monumental Stairway Church
As part of our Ancona Walking Tour, we visited San Francesco alle Scale, beautifully set at the top of a staircase in the old town. San Francesco alle Scale is a remarkable example of Gothic architecture, as proven by its elegant Venetian-Gothic portal. A distinctive element of San Francesco alle Scale is its unique location. The video captures a small spring flowing directly from the slope on which the church stands. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GQY1nYiAWS8 Curious to learn more about […]https://marchetowalk.com/2026/03/31/san-francesco-alle-scale-anconas-monumental-stairway-church/
