Fortino del Pescara, Renaissance palace in Pescara, Italy.

The Fortino del Pescara stands on the Adriatic coast with pentagonal design, seven bastions, and Renaissance architectural elements characterizing its structure.

Built in 1510 under Spanish rule, this fortification served as one of the four main military strongholds of the Kingdom of Naples during the 16th century.

The former military compound now houses the Museum of the People of Abruzzo, presenting regional artifacts and historical exhibitions about local traditions.

The palace opens daily except Mondays, with guided tours available in multiple languages and parking facilities located within walking distance.

Archaeological excavations at Campo Rampigna revealed original walls and artifacts from the Roman city of Aternum beneath the Renaissance structure.
