The city, as it is situated in a secluded position among the Piceno heights on a hill that reaches 508 meters above sea level, offers visitors a striking 360-degree panoramic view of the Marche and northern Abruzzo hinterland that earns it the nickname "Piceno's Belvedere".

Such a view ranges from the north, where we can make out the Conero and Titan Mountains, to the south, being able to clearly spot Majella, passing through the entire Apennine arc with the Sibillini Mountains, the Laga Mountains and the Gran Sasso massif.

In exceptional visibility conditions, the Gargano and even the Dinaric Alps of Dalmatia can be seen in the distance.
