Vasto Liberty and Littoria

Four steps through two thousand years of history and beauty

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

To fully savor it, we have prepared seven itineraries that wind through the streets of the center and its immediate surroundings. Each itinerary is a tale that will take you to a different era, introducing you to monuments, events, and characters of that period, in a compelling narrative that is not only the history of Vasto but also, more generally, the history of Southern Italy.
