The Aragonese castle of Ortona is not only a splendid monument but also an excellent panoramic point. From here you can admire the Trabocchi coast to the south and a beautiful stretch of the famous cycle path. Entry to the castle area is free and it's worth taking a tour just for how well maintained it is.

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.
