Pescara entdecken

The Birthplace of Gabriele D'Annunzio Museum is the 18th-century house in old Pescara where the poet was born on 12 March 1863. Declared a national monument in 1927, it keeps the family's 19th-century rooms with painted vaults, his clothes, first editions of his books, casts of his face and hand, and his First World War uniforms.

Pescara Cathedral, dedicated to the city's patron Saint Cetteus, is the seat of the Archbishop of Pescara-Penne. The Romanesque Revival church was built in the 1930s on the site of a medieval church, with support from Gabriele D'Annunzio. It holds the tomb of his mother, Luisa De Benedictis, and a painting of Saint Francis attributed to Guercino.
