Teramo

The city spreads between the Tordino and Vezzola rivers, nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso d'Italia mountain range at 265 meters elevation.

Originally named Interamna, the settlement developed into a commercial center under Etruscan influence before becoming an essential part of the Roman Empire.

The Cathedral of Saint Berardo combines architectural elements from multiple periods, featuring a Gothic bell tower constructed in 1483 and medieval religious artworks.

The local economy centers on agriculture, textiles, ceramics, and furniture production, while maintaining strong commercial connections with surrounding regions.

The astronomical observatory outside the city conducts research projects and allows visitors to examine celestial bodies through professional telescopes.
