Via Carlo Mafrolla
Vieste is primarily a beach resort and has only a few sights of interest located in the winding medieval streets of the historic centre. From the Chiesa di San Francesco (a former monastery, closed for restoration) at the tip of the promontory walk up Via Carlo Mafrolla where boutique craftshops selling ceramics and local handicrafts have replaced hippy market stalls.

Buy the local speciality here: ostieripiene (or ‘stuffed Hosts’) – wafers resembling the Hosts used at Mass, filled with caramelised almonds. Ask for a taste of the delicious local liquor, Amaro O Limon made with olives and lemons.
