Ortona is an unincorporated area and a populated place in Glades County, Florida.[1]
One of the area's attractions is the Ortona Indian Mound Park, which preserves part of the Ortona Prehistoric Village, and the hiking trail through that area.[2] The prehistoric mounds, canoe canals and earthworks were constructed by Native Americans across a five-square-mile region along the north side of the Caloosahatchee River.[3] The site is located on SR 78, north of LaBelle.[4][5]
