Province of Chieti, Provincial territory in Abruzzo, Italy

The Province of Chieti is an administrative territory in the Abruzzo region that extends from the Maiella mountains to the Adriatic coast. The area includes numerous medieval towns as well as a roughly 60-kilometer coastline with sandy beaches and small harbors.

People settled in this area as early as 1300 BC before the Romans took control in 305 BC. The town of Teate grew under Roman rule into an important regional center and later became Chieti.

Wooden fishing platforms on stilts line the Costa dei Trabocchi, preserving old fishing methods along the Adriatic coast. Many of these structures now serve as restaurants where visitors can enjoy local seafood directly above the water.

The interior with its mountains and hill towns suits walking, while the coast attracts beachgoers mainly during the summer months. A personal vehicle makes reaching remote villages and smaller beaches much easier.

The Museo Archeologico Nazionale d'Abruzzo in the capital preserves finds from prehistory to Roman times in well-organized exhibition rooms. Visitors can see the Warrior of Capestrano there, a limestone sculpture more than 2500 years old.
