Civitella del Tronto

The fortress of Civitella del Tronto is an impressive display of military engineering, stretching for more than five hundred meters along a rocky ridge. This fortress, along with the surrounding village, has weathered numerous sieges throughout history, but it remained the last Bourbon stronghold to surrender during the movement that resulted in the Unification of Italy.

In addition to enjoying the beautiful waterfront and beaches in San Benedetto del Tronto, you can also visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria della Marina, the Gualtieri Tower and the Monument dedicated to the Fisherman, and the Lighthouse, from the top of which you can admire the surrounding landscape.

The historic center of Ascoli Piceno, built in travertine, a local limestone rock, offers a fascinating walk. If you visit the city, you can make a stop at Piazza del Popolo, the heart of the Renaissance, where majestic buildings such as the Palace of the Captains stand. Ascoli Piceno is also known as the City of a Hundred Towers, thanks to the many noble and bell towers that grace its skyline.

Nature

Trabocchi Coast

A true wonder of the Abruzzo coastline, the trabocchi, imposing structures that emerge from the waters and make for a spectacular view. These unusual giants, still of uncertain origin, can be found along the Trabocchi Coast, that stretch of coastline between Ortona and Vasto along the Adriatic Sea.
These are ancient fishing machines on stilt houses, which are generally attributed to the Phoenicians. Regardless of their origins, trabocchi are unique structures that offer an extraordinary view, standing out against the blue Adriatic Sea and evoking intense emotions.

Grotte di Stiffe

The Stiffe Caves are a fascinating complex of karst caves that formed more than six hundred thousand years ago. This extraordinary underground world is characterized by crystalline lakes, majestic limestone rocks, wonderful stalactites and stalagmites, and offers a unique experience in the heart of the earth. By walking along a suggestive trail, you can explore the Stiffe Caves and discover all their fascinating secrets.

Salinello Gorges

Near Civitella del Tronto, you can enjoy evocative hikes to the Salinello Gorges. This incredible natural monument was created by the Salinello Torrent, which, over millions of years, has carved a "gorge" that is several kilometers long, about 200 meters high and varies in width, between the two slopes of the Monti Gemelli (Twin Mountains), Montagna di Campli and Montagna dei Fiori.
