It is the main access to the fascinating medieval village of Campofilone. Characterized by an elegant pointed arch and a Ghibelline battlement, the gate was restored and partially modified in the 18th century. Originally, it was a true defensive tower with a drawbridge, a room for armaments, and loopholes from which boiling water or oil was thrown at enemies. On the external facade stands out the heraldic coat of arms of the village and a lamb, symbolizing the church’s protection. Recently restored and enhanced by the suggestive avenue of century-old pines that precedes it, it now represents the identity symbol of Campofilone, welcoming visitors and travelers with its timeless charm.
The historic centre of Campofilone stands on a hill overlooking the Aso Valley. If arriving by car, take the A14 motorway, exit at Pedaso and continue towards Campofilone following local signs.
The nearest railway station is Pedaso, on the Adriatic railway line. From there, Campofilone can be reached by local transport connections or by taxi.
To visit the historic centre, it is advisable to leave the car in parking areas near the entrance to the village and continue on foot. The main access is through Porta Marina, along Via Vittorio Alfieri. During busier periods, check local signs and any access or parking restrictions.
The Marina of Porto San Giorgio, built in 1984, is among the largest in the Adriatic with over a thousand boat places and nine Blue Flags for efficiency. The area hosts a large section dedicated to fishing, whose local history dates back to the 1500s.
Prepared only with fresh fish from the central Adriatic, it has become a gastronomic symbol of the city, to be enjoyed in typical restaurants or during events dedicated to the sea.
This is a municipal villa in Liberty style, surrounded by a large garden, which becomes a vibrant cultural space with events and exhibitions during the summer. Since 2012, it also hosts a private collection of maritime objects, making it a place that combines architectural elegance with historical interest.
