What to see near B&B Angelo
Just outside the historic center, in the Porta Maggiore area, the Ponte di Cecco spans the Castellano with two asymmetrical arches: the larger is 14.5 m high, twice the height of the smaller one. The bridge, 43 m long and 4.5 m wide, dates from the 1st century BC and linked the Salaria with Castrum Truentinum on the coast. Legend attributes it to the poet Cecco d'Ascoli, but the 1349 rebuilding was the work of Mastro Cecco Aprutino. Its present appearance is the result of the postwar reconstruction, after its destruction in 1944.
At the other end of the bridge stands the Malatesta Fort, reinforced in 1349 by Galeotto Malatesta, after whom it is named. In 1543 Pope Paul III Farnese turned it into a papal garrison to a design by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger; after 1798 it was a barracks for French troops and from 1828 a prison. Restoration has returned the fort to its original form, and today its interior houses archaeological finds on the city's history and temporary exhibitions.
