Tips
The Aragonese castle of Ortona dates back to the 15th century. Initially it had defensive functions. From the seventeenth century, however, it became the residence of the Baglioni family. In the 19th century the castle fell into disrepair and was used as a powder magazine. Currently the castle can be visited for free: the views of the Adriatic Sea are exceptional.
