On the border between Marche and Abruzzo, in the province of Teramo, located in the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park, stands the evocative Castel Manfrino, so called from the historical and popular tradition that connects the territory to the exploits of King Manfredi (1232-1266 ), last Swabian sovereign, natural son and successor of Frederick II and Bianca of the Lancia counts of Monferrato.
A fortress commissioned by the Swabian King Manfredi to guard the borders between the Papal State and the Kingdom of Naples, it was therefore in a strategic position for sighting and control of traffic and therefore determined its centrality as a defensive position in the territory.
