Chieti, Provincial capital in Abruzzo, Italy
The city stretches across a hilltop position at 330 meters above sea level, overlooking the Pescara River valley in central Italy.
Romans captured this settlement, formerly called Teate, from the Marrucini tribe in 305 BC and transformed it into a significant administrative center.
The National Museum of Archaeology presents collections of Roman artifacts, including remains from three temples discovered within the ancient city boundaries.
The urban structure divides into two distinct areas: the old town on the hill and the industrial district of Chieti Scalo in the valley.
The Gothic bell tower of the 11th-century cathedral took over 160 years to complete, from 1335 to 1498, representing different architectural phases.
