The Church of Santa Maria della Piazza is an example of particular significance both for its architectural value and for its testimonial value regarding the origins of Christianity in the city of Ancona. Built at the end of the 12th century on the remains of the church dedicated to Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr whose relic is preserved in the Diocesan Museum, it represents the historical continuity of the Christian religion expressed through the monuments that have come down to us and is at the same time a document of the evolving history of the city. The Church is a jewel of Romanesque architecture: it has a rectangular plan, a Latin cross layout, and is divided into three naves. The bell tower originally had a strategic function, being a tower attached to the fortification that connected to the hill behind. The richly ornamented portal strikes with the movement and fine interweaving of the small arches and pilasters. After the consolidation work initiated following the earthquake of 1972, it seems possible to connect the history of this church to the most ancient memories of Christian worship in Ancona between the 2nd and 4th centuries, identifying its title with that of the very ancient basilica dedicated to the protomartyr Stephen, built on the ruins of imperial buildings from the Trajanic era.

This ancient monumental gate was built by architect Filippo Marchionni between 1787 and 1789 at the request of Pope Pius VI. It is a triumphal arch with a single arch, enclosed within two pilasters and featuring massive buttresses as high as the springer; the entire structure is characterized by polished blocks of Istrian stone. The façade facing the city is made of Istrian stone with Baroque friezes and is flanked by two pilasters supporting the attic, which once bore a dedicatory plaque with the papal coat of arms. This plaque, along with the dedicatory inscription, was later removed during the French occupation of 1797. The interior façade, without any particular ornamentation, is made of sandstone blocks. This side, too, topped by a simple triangular tympanum, also boasts another marble plaque commemorating the liberation from papal rule by General Cialdini's troops. https://anconatourism.it/arte-e-cultura/monumenti/porta-pia/
