Vasto Old Town
Vasto
A hilltop old town on a sea cliff, where the Amblingh Loggia overlooks the entire Vasto bay.
The old town of Vasto centres on Piazza Rossetti and includes the Caldora Castle, the cathedral and the Palazzo d'Avalos, which houses a museum and a Neapolitan-style garden. The Loggia Amblingh (Amblingh Loggia) runs along the city walls and offers views over the bay and the fishing platforms, best at sunset. The seafront of Vasto Marina below the hill has a wide sandy beach. It is about 70 km from Pescara, and you can reach it by train to Vasto-San Salvo station and then change to a bus.
