About Ortona

Ortona is a coastal city and municipality of the Province of Chieti in the Italian vicinity of Abruzzo, with some 23,000 inhabitants. In 1943 Ortona was the site of a bloody conflict, called "Western Stalingrad". A customer saint of Ortona is Saint Thomas the Apostle, whose relics have been brought to Ortona in the 13th century by means of a sailor and are kept inside the Cathedral of Saint Thomas. The origins of Ortona are uncertain. Presumably, it was first inhabited by the Frentani, an Italic populace.

In 2005, all through works close to the Castle, a Bronze Age settlement become located, and the Roman town in large part coincided with this primary agreement. Some sections of paved roads and concrete partitions, as well as some archaeological findings are the most effective remains of this period. Ortona remained part of the Eastern Roman Empire for numerous centuries, before it changed into annexed by the Kingdom of the Lombards. In 803, the Franks included Ortona into the county of Chieti. From that date on, the town remained tied to Chieti and its territory.
