The Historic Center and the Upper Town
The Upper Village
As you move from the coast toward the hill, you reach the oldest part of San Benedetto, the so-called "Paese Alto." Here, amidst narrow alleys and stone houses stacked against one another, you can breathe in the atmosphere of the original fishing village, with its Gualtieri Tower (13th century) that dominates the landscape and offers a spectacular view of the sea.
The Church of San Benedetto Martire
Dedicated to the patron saint, this church houses the relics of Saint Benedict Martyr and serves as an important spiritual landmark for the local community. The tradition says that the saint's body arrived miraculously from the sea, carried by the waves to the beach.
The Seafront and Beaches
The Famous Seafront
The San Benedetto seafront is universally recognized as one of the most beautiful in Italy, a true linear garden stretching for kilometers parallel to the coast.
Walking along the promenade at sunset, when the lights begin to illuminate the palms and the scent of the sea mingles with that of flowers, is an unforgettable experience that we recommend to all our guests at Radici Luxury B&B.
The Port and the Seafaring Tradition
The Port and the Fishing Fleet
The San Benedetto port is one of the most important in the central Adriatic and preserves the city's authentic soul. At dawn, you can watch the return of the fishing boats and the sale of fresh fish directly on the docks — an experience that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the local seafaring culture.
The San Benedetto fishing fleet, once one of the largest in the Mediterranean, still represents a key element of the local economy and identity.
The Museum of the Sea
The Museum of the Sea (Ittico Museum "Augusto Capriotti") hosts a rich collection of shells from around the world, artifacts from the local seafaring tradition, and an interesting exhibition dedicated to the fauna and flora of the Adriatic. It is an ideal place to understand the deep connection between the city and its sea.
The Museum of Seafaring Civilization
Located in the old fish market, this museum tells the history of the San Benedetto fishermen, their fishing techniques, and traditions through historical photographs, models of boats, and period navigation tools.
