THE BEAUTIFUL 16TH CENTURY HILLTOWN OF CIVITELLA DEL TRONTO IN ABRUZZO ,ITALY
Civitella del Tronto is an ancient medieval village, which developed around a Bourbon fortress built during the Spanish domination between 1564 and 1576. The fortress was built on the northern border of the ancient Kingdom of two Sicilies at the boundaries with the Vatican State. Today Civitella is in the Abruzzi region, 15 km from Teramo and 18 km from Ascoli Piceno in the Marche region. The medieval borough is dominated by the Fortress, the northernmost Borbon citadel in Italy, and the last to surrender to the armies of Vittorio Emanuele I. From the top of the Citadel it is possible to see 360 degrees around, the Montagna dei Fiori, Campli, Monte Ascensione and the Adriatic. Civitella offers also landscapes of unparalleled beauty among the North-Eastern edge of the Monti della Laga and the Monti Gemelli, in the natural Reserve of the Gola del Salinello.
