The ruins of Aymone

Four steps through two thousand years of history and beauty

On its hill overlooking the coast, Vasto offers a collection of breathtaking views. The city is also a compendium of two thousand years of history that you can relive by walking through one of the largest pedestrian historic centers in Italy.

To help you fully enjoy it, we have prepared seven itineraries that wind through the streets of the center and the surrounding areas. Each itinerary is a story that will take you to a different era and introduce you to monuments, events, and characters from that period, in a captivating narrative that is not only the history of Vasto but also, more generally, the history of southern Italy.
