Abruzzo
Ortona's castle, badly damaged during a fierce WWII battle for the town, has been restored and stands on a low cliff directly above the working harbour, giving unobstructed views along the Adriatic coast in both directions. A flat promenade links the castle grounds to the rest of the old town.
