This church is located in the center of this lovely coastal town and is famous for holding the remains of Saint-Thomas the Apostle. Many times reconstructed, it dates back to 1258. The main Portal is the original one from 1311 and its white stone contrasts with the rest of the structure built in red bricks. The interior features one nave and lateral chapels and a crypt below the altar with the remains of Saint-Thomas. When I visited there was no other person in it and I was able to admire it in absolute silence.

We stopped to look up the grave of my dad’s first Cousin who was killed in the Battle of Ortona on Dec 20, 1943. I remembered him stopping off at our farm before he left for Europe. It was a very peaceful place, so well maintained, with a shelter containing a record of everyone buried there and a guest book for every visitor to sign. So many young Canadians gave their lives for us. Didn’t come up on our GPS but we were able to locate it with the help of locals.

Sea view and excess to downtown Ortona with great pubs and restaurants, weekly market and shopping promenade and coast view. Ortona also has a harbour with great fresh fish. I buy my fish here when staying at In Fraia Vacation Home Rental minutes away by car.
