CORSO PLEBISCITO

A Short Walk Through Two Thousand Years of History and Beauty

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.

To help you enjoy it to the fullest, we’ve created seven itineraries that wind through the city center and its immediate surroundings. 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.
