Liscia is located in the vicinities of Vasto (about 25 kms.). It is a beautiful hilltop town near the Treste river. The name Liscia means smooth. It was given because from far away it looks like a smooth pebble.

HISTORICAL FACTS
The first mention of the town was in the 12th century when it became part of the county of Monteodoriso. Narrow streets and long stairways characterize the hamlet as the typical medieval.
