Discover Castelnuovo Vomano

Castelnuovo Vomano between local history and everyday life

Castelnuovo Vomano combines an independent town center with ecclesiastical architecture, local events, market life and practical routes into the surrounding area. Today’s center emerged after the Second World War from the former district of San Cipriano. Those who want to discover the town not merely as a stopover, but with an eye for its development and everyday life, will find several different points of interest here.

Church and traces of the past

The Chiesa dei Santi Antonio e Vincenzo can be reached via a footpath that is easily accessible from the ground floor and free of architectural barriers. This means that the specific site can also be taken into account when planning a trip where easy accessibility is particularly important.

Roman pottery fragments have been documented at Pianvilla, in the area along the route to Castelnuovo Vomano. The find points to an older history of the surrounding area, without implying any particular sightseeing opportunity. Together with the development of today’s center, it creates a townscape in which different historical periods coexist.

Market and events

A weekly market takes place in Castelnuovo Vomano on Mondays. Monday therefore gives the market a fixed place in the local rhythm. In addition, the Fiera d'Autunno in Castelnuovo Vomano was held on October 19, 2025, for its 20th edition.

At the Wild Park Fest, concerts, markets, games and outdoor activities took place between May 29 and 31 at the Parco del Bocciodromo in Castelnuovo Vomano.

Regional cuisine and products

The Sagra della Costina takes place every year in summer at the Bocciodromo on Via Rossini in Castelnuovo Vomano. The sixth edition was held there from July 31 to August 3, 2025, and offered ribs, arrosticini, fritters, sausages, French fries, fried cheese, beer and cocktails. Those who experience local festivals primarily through their cuisine will gain a particularly concrete impression of the culinary offerings at this event.

At the BioRadici event, agricultural businesses presented some of their high-quality products on April 6, 2026, at Piazza della Chiesa in Castelnuovo Vomano. The weekly market and this event emphasize different aspects: here, the regular market day is the focus; there, the presentation of agricultural products.
