Roseto degli Abruzzi

The town stretches along 10 kilometers of Adriatic coastline between the Vomano and Tordino rivers at an elevation of 5 meters above sea level.

Originally named Rosburgo in 1877 by King Umberto I, the town received its current name in 1927 due to the numerous roses decorating fishermen's houses.

The town celebrates Santa Maria Assunta as its patron saint, following the replacement of Saint Filomena after investigations concerning religious authenticity.

The central railway station connects the town to provincial capitals Pescara and Teramo, while numerous hotels offer accommodations near sandy beaches.

The local basketball team Roseto Sharks plays in an indoor stadium with 4,500 seats, complemented by tennis courts and an Olympic swimming pool.
