Giorgini Square, also known as “the Rotunda,” is a central landmark in San Benedetto del Tronto. Originally named Tommaso di Savoia Square, it is now named after Carlo Giorgini. This square is a lively and welcoming gathering place for those who wish to stroll and enjoy the city center, serving as a starting point to the waterfront and the pedestrian island along Second Moretti Avenue.
One of the distinctive elements of the square is the distinctive fountain, which symbolizes the waterfront and is one of the most recognizable images of the city. The square is also famous for hosting events and celebrations, becoming a meeting point for residents and tourists.
The San Benedetto del Tronto Lighthouse, located between the Rotunda and the port area, began operation in 1957. Built in a strategic location, it is crucial to the navigation of mid-Adriatic shipping, providing an essential light reference between Ancona and Ortona. The lighthouse not only serves a practical function for maritime safety, but is also an iconic element of the urban landscape.
