Pescara

Pescara combines a brisk modern seafront with the literary memory of old Abruzzo in a way that reflects its position where the Pescara River reaches the Adriatic Sea. Set on Abruzzo’s Adriatic coast, it has a working port and a long urban beach, while the river divides the central districts before meeting the sea. Ponte del Mare, a pedestrian and cycle bridge with a distinctive curved profile, crosses the river close to its mouth and links waterfront routes on both banks. Writer Gabriele D’Annunzio was born here in 1863; his birthplace, Casa Natale di Gabriele D’Annunzio, is preserved as a museum in the old quarter. Pescara became a single municipality in 1927, when Pescara and Castellammare Adriatico were united. Browse other webcams across Abruzzo to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
