Much of the medieval town dates back to the 15th century and when the city was called the "Athens of the Abruzzi". The town is also known because it is the birthplace of the poet Gabriele Rossetti. The resort of Vasto Marina is located below Vast, some 2 km down the hill, where visitors will find a number of hotels, restaurants, camp sites and a long sandy beach.
