The Mole Vanvitelliana, also known as the "Lazaretto of Ancona", is a fascinating historical fortress on a small island in the harbour bay of Ancona, Italy.

Originally built as a quarantine station for ships and their crews during the plague epidemics of the 18th century, it later also served as a prison and military camp. Today, the Mole Vanvitelliana houses cultural facilities, including museums, exhibition spaces and venues for cultural events. With its unique location and rich history, the Mole Vanvitelliana is a fascinating destination for visitors who want to explore Ancona's past and present.
