The Loggia was built as the meeting point for the city merchants in the XV century and was at the time in a very strategic location between the port and the city centre. The front of the building is vaguely Venetian in style with sculptures of the 'virtues' (Strength, Hope, Justice and Charity) and the vaulted main hall is decorated with frescoes and more statues (of the 4 continents - I could only recognize America and Africa).
The Loggia is used for meetings and conferences so it is not usually open to visitors.

We passed by the Loggia dei Mercanti in Ancona whilst docked in the port for a sunny Sunday in June. We had opted to explore the town on foot and had prepared our own agenda with points of interest to visit.
The house is located in a narrow side street just off of the Piazza della Repubblica where we had stopped for a drink.
The house was built to enable a meeting point for prosperous merchants and the upper storey facade is highly decorated with ornate stone carvings. Unfortunately due to the width of the street that it is situated in, it is almost impossible to get a good photo of the overall effect, although there is a small side street almost opposite which helps with the angle. The house appeared to be open on the day of our visit although we were not clear if you could enter and we did not really have the time anyway for an in depth visit.
Certainly worth a passing look if you are visiting and taking a walk around the port.

Dating from the 15C but modified over the years, unfortunately the fabulous façade is almost impossible to photograph as the street is extremely narrow. Also difficult to actually look at the façade. Inside we spotted a small replica of the facade on a stand.
There are also info sheets in different languages which describe both the façade and the various statues and frescoes, all of which are impressive.
If open, do go in.

There is nothing to see, I don't even know how I can leave a comment about this. It's a not so good looking building in a small dirty street, you can't even get inside.

There's not a whole lot to do in Ancona and this little Museum was no exception. It's got like two pictures on the wall and a bunch of chairs. An absolute bore. The only reason I gave it to stars is because the staff is friendly and it was air-conditioned

After visiting the Piazza del Plebiscito we headed back towards our ship down the small alleyway at the north western end of the square and walked straight into the Loggia dei Mercanti building. What a great surprise and what a beautiful building this is. We didn't have time to do much but admire the external façade but were suitably impressed by the architecture and design. Plus what a brilliant main door. If you visit the square then drop down the alleyway we went through and have a closer look at this. Certainly worth walking past if not going inside if this is possible.
