Famous Landmarks
Pescara Beach
42.4584°N, 14.2080°E
Pescara Beach stretches over 20 kilometres of golden sand along the Adriatic, with one of Italy's longest pedestrian and cycling promenades. Awarded the European Blue Flag for many years, it welcomes thousands of bathers in summer and shelters historic seaside resorts laid out since the Belle Époque.
D'Annunzio's birthplace
42.4584°N, 14.2080°E
The birthplace of Gabriele D'Annunzio, where the poet was born in 1863, is now a national museum. Restored in 1927 by the Italian State for D'Annunzio's 65th birthday, it preserves furniture, books, and personal objects of il Vate (the Prophet), the sulphurous hero of early-20th-century Italian literature.
Ponte del Mare
42.4584°N, 14.2080°E
Ponte del Mare, inaugurated in 2009, is one of Europe's longest cycle-pedestrian bridges (466 metres). This spectacular steel arch structure, designed by architect Walter Pichler, spans the mouth of the Pescara River and offers an exceptional view of the Adriatic Sea, particularly striking at dusk.
