The main tourist street of the city is Corso Umberto I, remarkable for its numerous historical buildings, as well as the variety of popular restaurants and cafes. A significant part of the buildings that we can see on the historic street was erected in the 18th-19th centuries. Today, on the ground floor of many historic buildings there are attractive stores and souvenir shops. An interesting cultural institution is Museo Casa Natale di Gabriele d'Annunzio. During the Second World War, almost the whole city was in ruins. Most of its historical monuments were lost forever in this period. Among the destroyed buildings was a house of the famous poet where his mother lived. After the war, the poet decided to restore the building. By 1963, a museum dedicated to his work was opened here. The atmosphere of the turn of the 19th-20th centuries is accurately recreated in the house museum. The museum's exhibits include many interesting personal belongings of the poet. The miniature Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo is sure to please fans of fascinating tours. It introduces visitors to the beautiful traditions and customs of the Abruzzo region. The museum displays a collection of ancient household items; a large part of the exhibition consists of various agricultural devices. Some of them look so bizarre that it's really hard to guess their purpose at first glance. Basilica della Madonna dei Sette Dolori built in the 17th century stands out among other religious monuments of Pescara.
