Martinsicuro

Martinsicuro is a coastal commune in the Province of Teramo on the Adriatic Sea, stretching along the Tronto River mouth. The flat terrain sits just above sea level and connects beach areas with adjacent settlements.

The area was originally the Roman settlement of Truentum and played a strategic role in Roman expansion. Human presence here traces back to the Bronze Age, as shown by archaeological finds.

The name comes from Saint Martin, whose veneration has shaped local identity for generations. The church and public squares reflect this religious tradition in their architecture and everyday use.

The place offers direct access to beach activities as well as opportunities for inland excursions. Regular transportation connections link it to other towns in the region.

The 16th-century Tower of Charles V now houses an archaeological museum with objects from different ages. Inside this building, visitors can see artifacts that document the long history of human settlement here.
