Ancona is the capital of the [[province of Ancona|homonymous province]] and of the region. The city is located {{convert|280|km|abbr=on}} northeast of Rome, on the [[Adriatic Sea]], between the slopes of the two extremities of the [[promontory]] of [[Monte Conero]], Monte Astagno and Monte Guasco. The hilly nature around Ancona is a strong contrast to the flatter coastline in areas further north.

Ancona is one of the main ports on the Adriatic Sea, especially for passenger traffic, and is the main economic and demographic centre of the region.
