Anciently, the area occupied today by the lively center of Alba Adriatica was an inhospitable marsh, formed through the centuries after the withdrawal of the sea with which reached once up to the hills. And it is on the hills that the early human settlements rose, as witnessed by the many archaeological findings common when excavating foundations of new buildings.

Ager Praetutianus, Hardianus, Palmensis, Castrum Truentinum, Castrum Novum, Alba Picena, Suino and Servio are the names of the towns of the Piceni that were destroyed during the invasions of the early centuries of the Christian Era. Along the coasts anciently the Romans established many "navali", small ports more for military use than for fishing and sometimes used in sea trade. One of these Navali might have been in the territory of Alba Adriatica, near the junction Via Mazzini - Via Roma. Only in the 16th century the first buildings appeared along the coast: they were towers with the purpose to defend the territory from the landings of Turks and Saracens.
