Urban centers
Coastline
- Porto San Giorgio - Known as Portus Firmi in the Roman period, it is today a tourist center as well as the nearby Marina Palmense. Equally close are Lido di Fermo, Casabianca and Lido San Tommaso.
- Sant'Elpidio a Mare - it is above all a manufacturing center. In its surroundings is the abbey of Santa Croce al Chienti, a notable example of Romanesque architecture.
Hinterland
- Stop - 8 km from the coast, Fermo was a Roman colony from 264 BC, although archaeological excavations have brought to light settlements from the Iron Age. From the Roman era it preserves the cisterns dating back to 90 AD. Very well preserved and of considerable size, the cisterns of Fermo testify to the high degree of hydraulic engineering achieved by the Romans as well as their passion for water.
- Massa Fermana - The small town (less than 1000 inhabitants) is known above all for its church dedicated to Saints Lorenzo and Silvestro where a polyptych from 1468 bearing the signature of Carlo Crivelli is exhibited.
- Montelparo
Other destinations
- Gorges of the Infernaccio - Formed inland by the River Tenna, the gorges fall into the national park of Sibillini Mountains and can be reached from the nearby center of Montefortino. The evocative landscapes are marked by small waterfalls.
