Atri

View the gems of the dukes of Acquaviva and try the famous cheeses from the region in this hilltop town that preserves traces of the Romans.

Ecclesiastical treasures and museums are scattered on an enchanting hill in Atri. The many churches of this town tell a story of religion and tradition around the piazzas and leafy parks decorating the town. Appreciate the stunning panoramas of Abruzzo’s verdant valleys from the town’s vantage points.

Medieval and Renaissance ruins fill the historic center. Marvel at religious artworks and Roman bath ruins in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. The limits of the flat stone frontage extend beyond the confines of the church’s body, creating an intriguing scene.

Taste flavorful local cheeses and sip espresso at a café on the adjacent Piazza Duomo, which backs onto the Teatro Comunale di Atri. Other specialties include pecorino (sheep cheese) and the Pan Ducale type of pizza. Beside the square is the Auditorium Sant’Agostino, a 15th-century church blending late Gothic and Renaissance styles.

Walk west through the historic center to the Chiesa San Francesco and climb up its staircase. The elegant balustrade, arched portals and pediment of this narrow building present a delightful Baroque design. Look for the stunning rose window and bell tower of nearby San Nicola.

Atri’s secular buildings compete for attention in the bursting historic center, with the 14th-century Palazzo dei Duchi d’Acquaviva the standout. Admire the two-part façade, the bell tower and the courtyard. The Acquaviva family played a major role in Atri’s history and its treasures and artifacts are spread across the town’s museums. Learn about the region’s past through such institutions as the Chapter Museum.

Climb to the summit of the Villa Comunale dei Cappuccini for a vista of the town and the Terre del Cerrano valleys. Explore the park’s manicured gardens, monuments and historic caves.

Atri is near the Adriatic Coast in Teramo Province in central Italy. Drive north from Pescara for 20 miles (30 kilometers) to get here. Atri is a charming hill village with rich religious history.
