Historical evolution

Numana dates back to ancient times. From being a very important commercial emporium of the Greek world – which later fell at the hands of a terrifying earthquake – the town was rediscovered – at the beginning of the 1900s – by the Roman nobles who made it their “summer home” .

From a humble fishing village, Numana has transformed into a modern tourist village at the foot of Monte Conero.
