Pretoro

Highlight • Settlement

Pretoro is part of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Pretoro is a village of ancient origins, its name derives from the Latin Praetorium (group of soldiers). Among the things to do here we recommend eating the famous Abruzzo guitar pasta or a piece of the typical "Torta del Lupo". Finally, your lunch can be accompanied by a classic glass of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.

Francavilla al Mare Beach

Highlight • Beach

A fine sandy wide beach washed by the waves of the warm Adriatic Sea.
It is most impressive in autumn, when it is empty. The atmosphere there is special then.

Francavilla al Mare Seafront

Highlight • Beach

Pier di Francavilla al Mare. An atmospheric place both in the evening, when its lanterns shine and at the same time the nearby Palazzo Sirena lights up, as well as during the day, when you meet anglers there casting their rods into the sea and your eyes will see a vast view of the nearby beaches.

Monument to the Fallen of the Sea

Highlight • Monument

The monument consists of a truncated cone supporting a disc, both in concrete.
There are nine travertine shapes on the disc. The stylized figures look at a dark stone bollard on which the dedication is engraved.
The authors of the monument are remembered in a bronze plate on the left of the disc.
