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 suggestive Castel Manfrino, so called from the historical and popular tradition that connects the territory to the exploits of King Manfredi (1232-1266 ), the last Swabian ruler, natural son and successor of Federico II and Bianca dei conti Lancia di Monferrato.
Rocca wanted 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 controlling the traffic and then determined its centrality as a defensive position of the territory.

There are various but decrepit rest areas just before the castle. But the most beautiful is inside the castle on the plank bridge. Brilliant view and a little shade in summer.
