Despite its relatively small size, Pescara's old town is a true gem. Its main streets are Corso Manthoné, via delle Caserme and via dei Bastioni (the latter follows the same path as the ancient Roman road connecting Pescara to Rome), while Piazza Garibaldi is the heart of the old town. Here, in a 500 m range, visitors may find three gorgeous museums (the Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo, hosted in the 500 year old barracks of the ancient fortress, displaying the history of people and traditions in Abruzzo; Gabriele D'Annunzio's birthplace museum; and the Cascella Museum, which contains a gorgeous collection of Abruzzese paintings from the XIX and XX century), archaeological sites (es. Santa Gerusalemme, a medieval church built on top of a Roman temple), the cathedral of Saint Cetteo, as well as dozens a m a z i n g restaurants serving traditional local cuisine (Taverna 58 and Pescì are must visit) as well as foreign (Chef Nestor and Giappo for Japanese, Omar Kayyam for Persian). Moreover, the whole area is literally full of archaeological remains waiting to be restored and brought back to life.
