The province of Pescara surrounds the city of the same name and lies in the very centre of the region of Abruzzo. This is a part of Italy of remarkable beauty and with rich culture, yet it has never been a major destination for international visitors, largely because the region is not very well served by international flight routes. However, many Italians make their way to the coast here in the summertime. Here are places to visit around the Pescara Province.

The city of Pescara

The city of Pescara is most famous today for being the birthplace of Gabriele D'Annunzio, perhaps the greatest Italian writer of the modern era. It is a developed coastal resort (¶È¼ÙʤµØ) with several miles of popular sandy beaches and a range of summertime activities for all the family to enjoy.

Città Sant'Angelo

It lies just a few miles northwest of the city of Pescara in an area famous for the production of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wine. Its main visitor attractions are the churches of San Michele Arcangelo and Santa Chiara.

Loreto Aprutino

Almost directly west of Pescara, it is worth visiting just to see its wall painting of the Judgement, but this small town has much more besides to offer the visitor including examples of the region's pottery industry and some excellent olive oil.

Castiglione a Casauria

If you enjoy further southwest from Loreto Aprutino, you will come to Castiglione a Casauria and the remains of the 9th­century Abbey (ÐÞµÀÔº) of San Clemente a Casauria.
