Milonia, Archaeological site in Ortona dei Marsi, Italy
The archaeological complex contains the remnants of defensive walls and a central cylindrical tower positioned on a strategic mountain passage.
The ancient city of Milonia preceded the establishment of Ortona dei Marsi, serving as a settlement for the Italic peoples in central Italy.
The architectural elements of the site reflect the influence of multiple ruling families, from the Counts of Celano to the Massimi dynasty.
Visitors can access the tower through an elevated entrance on the northern side, while examining the defensive slit window on the opposite wall.
The location of Milonia creates a natural connection between the eastern Fucino plateau and the Sagittario valley in the Abruzzo region.
