Riserva Naturale dei Calanchi

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.

Cattedrale Basilica S. Maria Assunta di Atri

Reviewed By ColleenCo - Pescara, Italy

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.

Centro Storico

Reviewed By feuchtmc - Munich, Germany

Little town dominating the hills about 10 km away from the seashore with 3000 (!) years of history a live museum Practically unspoiled historical centre with little streets to be explored The 12th century Duomo (Cathedral) is absolutely fantastic, a cafe or apperitivo on the terrace of the Bar del teatro in Piazza Duomo on a summer day is a must
