4.5 based on 722 reviews
The Fortress of Civitella del Tronto stands at 600 meters above sea level, in a very strategic position, at the old northern boundary between the Kingdom of Naples to the South and the Kingdom of the Holy See to the North. It is one of the largest and most important work of military engineering in Europe, characterized by its elliptical shape with an area of 25.000 square meters and a length of more than 500 meters.

If you are in Abruzzo and in the area of Civitella del Tronto, it is certainly well worth taking time to visit this imposing old fortress which dominates the top of the small town. It is massive in size and generally in good condition, enabling the visitor to gain a good impression of how it must have been to be a soldier stationed here long ago. The views are magnificent, although soldiers based here in the middle of winter must have endured a cold and bleak existence. A gem of a place to visit and, at the time of our visit at the end of May, virtually devoid of tourists. We had just arrived from Rome where such a historic site would have been swamped with tourists and the inevitable queues.

Probably the most famous landmarks in Teramo, work started on the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta in 1158 during one of the numerous rebuildings of Teramo (a strategic city, it was repeatedly ransacked and razed by a series of invading forces). A beautiful building situated in the centre of one of the historic centres' main squares, it has a Roman interior with a Gothic exterior. Also worth a visit is the crypt of San Berardo, patron saint of Teramo, within the church. Plenty of bars are in the immediate vicinity for refreshments and meals.

6. Riserva Naturale dei Calanchi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 128 reviews
The Nature Reserve "Calanchi di Atri" (Badlands of Atri), established in 1995, covers 390 hectares, spreading from the valley floor of the Piomba stream at 104 mt above the sea level to the Colle della Giustizia (Justice HiIl) at 468 meters above the sea level. The biodiversity and geological diversity of the badlands make the agricultural landscape a unique natural heritage site and an area of great national importance. The badlands, known also as "Dantesque pits of hell” or “devil's scratches" called in dialect "li Ripe" (escarpments), thanks to their imposing architecture, are one of the most fascinating aspects of the Adriatic coastal landscape. Past deforestation and pastures has brought to the surface clay soils, which, eroded by the alternation of periods of rain and drought, produce these particular formations.

This is a jewel not to be missed: the Cathedral has some exquisite frescoes made in the 1450s which reflect renaissance ideals mixed with life in Abruzzo at that time. Look closely at the pictures and you will see what clothes were worn in Atri at the time as well as what was typical to do or see at a wedding. Some inscriptions are in dialect which again reflected the area.

Walking to the Fortezza can be fun and we encountered the Ruetta, presented as the smallest street in Italy. It's a small passage that would entertain all. Unless you get stack!
10. Chiesa di Sant'Agostino
