The Fortress of Civitella del Tronto stands at 600 meters above sea level, in a very strategic position, at the old northern boundary between the Kingdom of Naples to the South and the Kingdom of the Holy See to the North. It is one of the largest and most important work of military engineering in Europe, characterized by its elliptical shape with an area of 25.000 square meters and a length of more than 500 meters.

If you are in Abruzzo and in the area of Civitella del Tronto, it is certainly well worth taking time to visit this imposing old fortress which dominates the top of the small town. It is massive in size and generally in good condition, enabling the visitor to gain a good impression of how it must have been to be a soldier stationed here long ago. The views are magnificent, although soldiers based here in the middle of winter must have endured a cold and bleak existence. A gem of a place to visit and, at the time of our visit at the end of May, virtually devoid of tourists. We had just arrived from Rome where such a historic site would have been swamped with tourists and the inevitable queues.

The 'Nina Museo delle Arti Cretive Tessili' displays a collection of old customary costumes, which for the most part, date back to the historical period of the eighteenth-century until the period after the 'First World War'. The museum itself houses these artifacts in a spacious area of more than 300 square meters, which previous to being a museum was Civitella's old bakery. The exposition consists of more than 3000 pieces, housing a wide variety of styles and is enriched with a reconstructed bedroom from the eighteen-hundred's, a table from the Nineteen-forty's and a hand made silk bedspread and bedding from Civitella. The name 'Nina' is the diminutive of 'Gaetana Graziani Scesi'. The richness of the display of Civitella's history is due particularly to 'Nina's personal love and affection for both her families history and the history of Civitella and it's fortress. In fact, the majority of the museum's collection belonged to members of the 'Scesi' family .

Walking to the Fortezza can be fun and we encountered the Ruetta, presented as the smallest street in Italy. It's a small passage that would entertain all. Unless you get stack!

This is one of the pittoresque hillside villages and towns in Abruzzo, with the addition of a grand fortress (partially ruined) dominating the top, and great views over the Gran Sasso mountains. The historic centre holds many old and characteristic buildings, sadly some were damaged in the 2016 earthquake and have not yet been renovated. All the churches were closed when we visited, and some had clear damage from the earthquake and will not reopen soon. Some seemed fine from the outside. Still, the village is well worth a half day stay and walk around. For views of the village, walk to the Santa Maria dei Lumi church and convent (limited opening times). There are a few places along the route that offer great views of the village.
