Sirolo (in the local dialect: Sciròlo ) is an Italian municipality ( comune ) with 4101 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019) in the province of Ancona in Marche . The municipality is located about 13.5 kilometers southeast of Ancona on the Adriatic coast . The Aspio delimits the municipality in the southwest.

geography

Sirolo is 125 m above sea ​​level , south of Monte Conero . Most of the urban area is part of the "Parco Regional del Conero" founded in 1987, one of the most important places in Italy for bird watching . This is rich in typical Mediterranean flora ( strawberry trees , holm oaks, pines, gorse, yew trees etc.) and fauna (deer, stone marten, weasel, pheasants, partridges, jays, wild boars, wolves, foxes, hares, squirrels). It is the only place on the Adriatic coast where peregrine falcons, blue alder and strawberry tree butterflies nest.

Every year since 1994, Sirolo has received the Blue Flag from the FEE; thanks to the quality of its sea water and the environmentally friendly performance of its area, it is one of the few cities that has been awarded the ISO 14001 eco-label. In 2016 Sirolo received the Green Flag for the adaptability of the beaches to children and under 18, by a jury of psychologists.

  • Spiaggia di San Michele is long and stretches from Spiaggia Ubani to below Monte Conero . It is about 500 meters from the center of Sirolo.
  • Sassi Neri is not a real beach, more of a stretch of coast. This terrain consists of many boulders, crevices and stones. It is about 600 meters from the center of Sirolo.
  • Spiaggia delle Velare is also called Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle because its two cliffs are called "due Sorelle" ("two sisters") because they look like two praying nuns.
