Loreto, a hill town, is a comune of the Italian province of Ancona, in the Marche and most commonly known as the seat of the Basilica della Santa Casa, a popular Catholic pilgrimage site.LocationLoreto is located 127m above sea level on the right bank of the Musone river and 22km by rail south-southeast of Ancona; like many places in the Marche, it provides good views from the Apennines to the Adriatic.Main sightsThe city's main monuments occupy the four sides of the piazza: the college of the Jesuits; the Palazzo Comunale (formerly the Palazzo Apostolico), designed by Bramante, that houses an art gallery with works of Lorenzo Lotto, Vouet and Annibale Carracci as well as a collection of maiolica, and the Shrine of the Holy House (Santuario della Santa Casa). Venture out of the city with trips to Grotte di Frasassi (in Genga) and Fabriano (Paper and Watermark Museum Fabriano & Convento dei Ss. Biagio e Romualdo). And it doesn't end there: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Santuario Della Santa Casa, make a trip to Piazza della Madonna, explore the ancient world of Grotte di Camerano - Citta Sotterranea di Camerano, and see the interesting displays at Casa Leopardi.
