Camerano and its caves

We are close to Monte Conero, in the province of Ancona, in the city of Camerano. Already inhabited since the Neolithic, the first village was built, two thousand five hundred years ago, in the Piceno period. In the Middle Ages, known as Cameranum, it regained importance as an Ancona castle. So a city rich in history and culture, walking through its historic center we meet the bust of the painter Carlo Maratti, in Piazza Romana, where Palazzo Manciforte also stands, from which you enter the beautiful park. Proceeding along via S. Apollinare you arrive at the church of San Francesco, dating back to 1215 and founded by the saint himself. Adjacent, the monastery, from 1763. The feature that makes Camerano absolutely worth visiting is its subsoil. It is rich in galleries and caves, so much so that it extends below rather than above, many underground passages used for the noble palace above, Palazzo Manciforte, but also a place of spiritual meeting, as evidenced by the decorations found that we can admire there.
