Monuments and places of interest Norman castle: it is located in the highest part of the old town, and dates back to the 11th century. In 1463 the fiefdom refused to submit to the Vasto authority of Antonio Caldora and was set on fire. Destroyed several times by Saracen and Turkish incursions, in the 16th century, following the last Ottoman attack, the castle was restored as a Renaissance palace, equipped with some neo-Gothic embellishments in the 19th century. The rectangular structure has the shape of a noble palace, whose medieval features are found in the top adorned with corbels and in the access portal, with lateral hinges, since it was in the past connected to a drawbridge. Church of Santa Maria di Petacciato: built in Apulian Romanesque style in the 13th century with the restoration of Frederick II, the church was dedicated to San Rocco until 1967, and has a single nave. Subsequently another one was added, together with the three analyses[unclear]. The bell tower is a sturdy tower that stands out above the town. The very small and intimate façade is a Renaissance reworking of the right side of the church, squeezed between the bell tower and the civilian homes. Torre di Petacciato: coastal tower of the defensive system against the Turks, commissioned by Charles V in the 16th century. The tower today is a ruin, split in two, in need of restoration. Church of San Rocco: built in 1967, inaugurated by Msgr. Giovanni Proni, is located in the modern part of the town, along Viale Pietravalle.

The history of Petacciato is very ancient, but at the same time of uncertain origin, as there is partially dubious documentation. In pre-Roman times it was occupied by the Frentani, a people of uncertain origin. In fact, according to some historians these descended from the Samnites, for others, however, from the Liburnians, the Sabines or the Etruscans. Its names have also been multiple: Petazio, of Greco-Roman origin, means wide-brimmed hat, Potare, which means "to drink in abundance", probably due to the presence of numerous springs in its territory, as well as Betavium, "Petacciata" , "Pitacciato" etc. The territory of Petacciato has always been disputed by various peoples and bandits. It suffered attacks from the Goths (5th century), the Byzantines (6th century), the Lombards (7th century). The coastal center has been destroyed several times by earthquakes; those that occurred in the years 1117, 1125, 1456 are worth mentioning. The latter, in particular, on the night between 4 and 5 December, caused a terrible destruction of the town with the consequent death of numerous inhabitants. A few years of poverty and abandonment of the country followed. In 1463 Petacciato was again razed to the ground by the Angevins, in battle against the Aragonese who Petacciato, together with Guglionesi, a neighboring town, had strenuously defended. Only towards the middle of the 16th century did Petacciato experience moments of prosperity again. In fact, there were settlements of Slavic people who guaranteed the repopulation of the territory. It was annexed to the University of Guglionesi, but in 1618 the Feudo di Petacciato was sold and taken over by the Duke of Celenza (Abruzzo) Giulio Cesare Caracciolo in 1619. These contributed to strengthening that phase of repopulation and economic recovery of the country. Towards the end of the 16th century Petacciato was invaded by the Turks, becoming a refuge for bandits. In its long and troubled history, Petacciato also experienced the dominion of the D'Avalos, a noble Neapolitan family who contributed significantly to restoring economic, social, cultural and religious development to the town. Petacciato, despite its thousand-year history, only became an independent municipality on 30 December 1923, breaking away from Guglionesi.
