Aragonese Castle 🏰

the Aragonese Castle of Ortona is a suggestive structure dating back to the 15th century, perched on the promontory overlooking the sea "La Pizzuta", which dominates the splendid town of Ortona a Mare, in the province of Chieti.

The construction is one of the most important examples in the area of the transformation of a medieval fortification into a Renaissance "elevation", today perfectly visible in all its magnificence thanks to a huge consolidation and restoration work.

The visual glimpse that the Castle offers allows one to embrace with one's gaze a long stretch of the "Costa dei Trabocchi", with its natural coves and ancient fishing stilts, still in operation today, which prop up one of the most fascinating stretches of the Middle – Lower Adriatic.
