About Civitella del Tronto

Civitella del Tronto climbs a ridge in the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga national park, crowned by a vast Bourbon fortress. The stronghold held out until 1861, and its ramparts, tunnels and barracks now open above the village lanes. Ascoli Piceno, the Laga mountains and the Adriatic coast at San Benedetto del Tronto are all within easy reach. May to early October suits walking, summer is warm and sociable, and winter can bring snow and empty streets.
