Loreto is a hilltown and comune of the Italian province of Ancona, in the Marche. Its 2003 population was 11,400.

Contents

Loreto is located 127 m (417 ft) above sea-level on the right bank of the Musone river. It is 22 km (15 mi) by rail SSE of Ancona. Like many places in the Marche, it provides good views from the Apennines to the Adriatic.

Loreto's main monuments occupy the four sides of the piazza: the college of the Jesuits, the Palazzo Comunale (formerly the Palazzo Apostolico), designed by Bramante, with an art gallery with works of Lorenzo Lotto, Vouet and Caracci as well as a collection of maiolica, and the Shrine of the Holy House (Santuario della Santa Casa).
