Montepagano, Medieval village in Roseto degli Abruzzi, Italy
Montepagano stands on a hilltop between the Vomano and Tordino rivers, offering views across the Adriatic Sea from an elevation of 300 meters.
The settlement dates back to the 11th century when inhabitants moved to higher ground to protect themselves from Turkish invasions along the coast.
The Church of Santissima Annunziata from 1602 and three medieval gates, Porta da Borea, Porta da Piedi, and Porta da Sole mark the village center.
Visitors can reach Montepagano by following SS80 from Teramo or taking historic walking paths from Roseto degli Abruzzi through natural landscapes.
The 40-meter bell tower in the central square stands independently from the church, an unusual architectural feature for Italian religious buildings.
