of Pescara - Italy

Not even a huge system of defensive works,
whose construction was ordered by Charles V
as a bulwark of the Kingdom of Naples, could
keep it safe from incursions and sieges. In
1927 it became chief town of province as a result
of the fusion of two towns located in the north
and in the south of the mouth of the river:
Castellamare Adriatico and Pescara. The present
name was preferred to "Amiternum"
to honour Gabriele D'Annunzio,
who was born in the area in the south of the
river.

Nature, art, culture and beach.
A centre of conference tourism and a modern
seaside resort, Pescara boasts wide and
soft beaches whose boundaries are marked
by two pinewoods: in the north, the Nature
Reserve of St Filomena; in the south, the
Avalos Pinewood, recalling the popular writer
D'Annunzio. It is in a fine residential
area, where you can see interesting buildings:
cottages in liberty style, the modern Auditorium
"Flaiano" and the Theatre dedicated
to D'Annunzio. |

| Church of the Sacred Heart
Church dedicated to the Sacred Heart; the Procession on Good Friday moves from it. It is a brick building. It was consecrated in 1900, when it was still unfinished, in order to replace the small Church of St Anne, located inside Villa Muzii along Viale G.Bovio, which was no longer able to contain the increasing number of the inhabitants of the town in 1900. |

| Canal Harbour of Pescara
The project for the canal harbour of Pescara was designed by the engineer Tommaso Mati on 22 April 1868 on behalf of the Abruzzo Minister of Public Works De Vincenzi; it was a wide, well-organized and ambitious project which should have changed the port of Pescara into an extraordinary facility capable of encouraging Abruzzo's development. |
