Corinaldo is a beautifully preserved Medieval town in the Ancona Province of Le Marche. It is just inland from the Adriatic seaside resorts of Senigallia and Marotta to the east and the surrounding countryside is covered in olive trees and the famous Verdicchio vineyards.

It features the best preserved town or village walls in the whole of Le Marche at 912 metres in length. Their maximum height is 18 metres and they enclose the entire historic centre of the Town. The current walls date back to 1367 and were enlarged between 1484 and 1490 by the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini.

The walls along with the many churches, palaces and other ancient historic buildings make Corinaldo a fascinating place to visit.

Corinaldo does not have a famous Piazza, but instead has a massive stairway with one hundred steps , called the Piaggia and the surrounding houses converge on it in a herringbone pattern. Also in the centre of the town is is the lovely neo classical Town hall andd the oldest house in the town, dating from the 13th Century.
