The Living Nativity at the Old Port of Ancona: A Journey into the Heart of Tradition

If you're looking for a unique and enchanting experience this Christmas, don't miss the opportunity to visit the Living Nativity at the Old Port of Ancona. Organized by the Pietralacroce volunteer group, this extraordinary event will take place on December 26th and 29th, with a path that will transport you into the heart of Christmas tradition.

Entering through the Clementino Arch, the route will guide you through the fascinating arches facing the sea, all the way to the manger, the focal point of this living representation. The Living Nativity in Ancona is one of the few set in a national port, a symbolic location that, along with its beautiful scenery, adds a special atmosphere to this event.

It’s not just a spiritual experience, but also an opportunity to admire the beauty of one of Ancona's most iconic places, the Old Port, which serves as the stage for a tradition deeply rooted in our culture and history.

And it doesn’t end there! This year, the Living Nativity is part of an even more captivating journey, starting from the monumental nativity scene in Piazza della Repubblica, recently restored and returned to the city, and continuing to the Old Port, creating a unique backdrop for an unforgettable Christmas experience.

Stay at La Piazza and experience the Living Nativity: take advantage of our central location in the heart of Ancona to explore all the beauty the city has to offer and enjoy a stay full of tradition, culture, and Christmas magic!
