Cupra Marittima

Along the Adriatic coastline of Le Marche, where the rhythm of Italian life unfolds at a leisurely pace, lies Cupra Marittima. This charming town offers a delightful blend of sun-drenched beaches and an authentic Marchesian atmosphere.

Goddess Cupra

Cupra Marittima’s origins stretch back to antiquity, as evidenced by the significant archaeological park of the Roman city of Cupra, from which the modern town takes its name. Here, remnants of a forum, temples, and a basilica paint a vivid picture of a thriving Roman settlement. The presence of the Goddess Cupra, an ancient Italic deity associated with fertility and water, hints at even older roots, possibly pre-Roman, connecting the area to a deep spiritual past. Exploring these ruins allows for a palpable connection to the civilizations that once flourished on this very land.
