Italy Province of Teramo Civitella del Tronto Fortress arms museum The Fortress of Civitella del Tronto is one of the most impressive works of military engineering arose on Italian territory, with over 500 meters in length and 25, 000 square feet of total area, the structure represented an insurmountable bulwark for the enemies in the northern limits of the various realms of Naples. The importance of Civitella resided in the decision around the end of the thirteenth century, the Angevins - rulers of South Italy - and by the papal to place a few kilometers away on the border between the Kingdom of Naples and the Papal States rising and this is why geographic considerations, combined with the harsh nature of the places that made it very easy to fortify Civitella, made of our country, over time, one of the most strategically important for the control of the northern border and customs. The Fortress, as well as structured today, was born later, however, exactly since 1559 (after, therefore, the successful resistance to the French soldiers led by the Duke of Guise), under the reign of Philip II of Spain: the existing fortifications and Angevin Aragon is completely demolished as obsolete by the new military siege techniques (the use, ie, the guns) requiring, in response, the walls very thick and inclined to cushion the disruptive action of the iron ball.
