Sight 8: Grotte dell'Annunziata
The caves of the Annunziata are one of the monumental constructions of the Roman Asculum, they are actually artificial caves, technically called "substructures", they are niches with barrel vaults, leaning on three sides against the cliff of the Colle dell'Annunziata, which they surround entirely on the eastern side. A peculiarity of the structure, perhaps unique in its kind, is the shape of the termination of the arches, which is "wedge-shaped", probably to better anchor the structure to the rocky hill.
Sight 9: Musei della Cartiera Papale
The Papal Paper Mill of Ascoli Piceno is an architectural complex made of sturdy regular square travertine ashlars.
