Vasto, perched on its hill close to the coast, is a collection of breathtaking views. The city is also a compendium of two thousand years of history, which you can relive by strolling through one of the largest pedestrian historic centers in Italy.

Each route is a journey into a different era, introducing you to monuments, events, and figures from that time—an engaging narrative that tells not only the story of Vasto, but also, more broadly, the history of Southern Italy.
