KNIGHTS IN THE FORTRESS Visita ad una delle più importanti opere di ingegneria militare d’Europa

The Fortress of Civitella del Tronto overlooks the territory circumstances with arrogance and suspicion. With its 25,000 square meters and its 500 meters of extension it will catapult you into past times. From the Middle Ages to 1500 with Philip II of Habsburg of Spain who wanted to completely transform it and make it become as we see it today. And then the Bourbons, the French and finally the Piedmontese of the Kingdom of Sardinia besieged it until it was reduced to a state of total abandonment.
Today that same structure has risen and can be visited in all its parts and, inside, there is also the curious and interesting Museum of Weapons. The view that can be enjoyed from up here, from the sea to the Gran Sasso, is priceless. After the guided tour of the fortress, a delicious typical lunch in a nearby farm.
Then you can continue to discover the NINA Museum, the enchanting Old Town and finally a delicious tasting of typical products awaits you. A truly extraordinary day among the beauties and flavors of Abruzzo
