Visit Civitella del Tronto Fortress with a single ticket, including entry to the Weapons Museum and the Nina Museum.

Explore the Renaissance-era fortified layout with towers, walls, and bastions, and see features that remain clearly visible today: the long access ramp, the Governor’s Palace (1574), the Church of St. James (1604), and the former military quarters, warehouses, cisterns, and the large Piazza d’Armi.

Inside the fortress, the Weapons Museum (open since 1988) is spread over two floors. On the ground level, find historic artillery pieces and original cannonballs discovered during restoration. Upstairs, several rooms display 19th-century portraits and documents (including Savoy-related material), uniforms, and a wide collection of weapons such as bayonets, rifles, sabres, and pistols from different armies. Highlights include 15th-century matchlock firearms, 18th-century flintlock pistols, and historic maps of the fortress and village.

The Nina Museum tells the story of the town through a noble family collection: documents, haute couture clothing, everyday objects, military uniforms, jewelry, antique textiles, and an elegant historic bedroom. The pieces reflect Civitella’s past as a thriving frontier town and trading hub, with items originating from across Europe.
