Overview
The last town in Abruzzo, separated from Marche by the Tronto river, Martinsicuro is located in the Val Vibrata area and has preserved part of its historical heritage over time. The early settlement developed around the Tower of Charles V, the watchtower erected at the behest of King Charles V in the mid-16th century as a defence against Saracen raids. The tower currently houses the Antiquarium of Castrum Truentinum, which preserves artefacts, from prehistoric times to the Longobard period, from excavations in the Colle Marzio area.
The Sacred Heart of the Gesu parish church, dating from the 20th century, has a Latin cross plan and an elegant portico. Opposite the church is \'Villa Bernabei\', a mid-19th century mansion.
Also known as the \'First Beach of Abruzzo\' and surrounded by gentle green hills that host small villages rich in history and charm, Martinsicuro attracts visitors not only for its beautiful coastline but also thanks to its historical, architectural and natural heritage.
In summer, the waterfront area offers various entertainment opportunities: if during the day they are a place to relax, in the evening they host clubs that organise atmospheric aperitifs on the beach, but also beach bars and lounge bars that organise evenings with music and DJ sets.
