in Chieti
   
Chieti
is a concentration of art, culture and history. Although for
the most it is not the typical destination of a trip out
door, but if you like cities of art, it is a place to be
inserted in the next possible destinations. Chieti offers
the advantage of being a fairly small town, which you can
visit without any problems on foot.
It can also be a strategic half as a base to visit many
enchanting places a short distance away, including some of
the most beautiful beaches in Abruzzo,
Majella National Park and little by little Abruzzo,
Lazio and Molise National Park. There are so many things to
see that we list among which we list: |

Roman Amphitheatre of Chieti
The
Amphitheatre of Teate Marrucinorum (the ancient Chieti) dates back to
the first century AD. and was built at the foot of the Acropolis. The
original structure, now part of the Civitella Archaeological Park, is
easily recognizable thanks to the presence of the wall that delimited the

Piazza Gian
Battista Vico
The
central and elegant Piazza Gian Battista Vico, presents on the left
side the particular building of the Chamber of Commerce in eclectic
style, born as Palazzo dell' Economia Corporativa in 1930 designed by the
architect Camillo Guerra, flanked in the design of the structures and
in the direction of the works by engineer Giuseppe Florio.
Characterized by a bold mixture of styles ranging from the late Gothic
styles, for the architectural decoration aspects to the Renaissance ones for
the structure, it preserves a rich decorative apparatus typical of the
Fascist era. It is worth noting the formal affinity of the portico with that
of the Abbey of San Clemente a Casauria. The other side of the square
is also overlooked by Palazzo Croce, whose imposing size of the noble floors
is lightened by the high portico of the ground floor, and on the short sides
by the elegant Palazzo Fasoli of the XXIX elegantly decorated windows
and the Church of San Domenico.
