10. The Fortress of Civitella del Tronto: on the edge of the kingdom

The Fortress of Civitella del Tronto (Teramo) is one of the most important engineering works on the Italian peninsula. Built from the fifteenth century by the Aragonese, the Fortress was later enlarged and modified by the Spanish Habsburgs and the Bourbons, representing an important bastion on the border between the Spanish Viceroy and the Papal State.
