Province of Teramo

The Province of Teramo is an administrative region in northern Abruzzo that spans from the Adriatic coast to the Apennine mountains. It contains numerous towns and villages with a mix of coastal and mountainous landscapes throughout its territory.

The province became an independent administrative unit in 1806 when the Kingdom of Naples reorganized its territories and separated this area from L'Aquila. This administrative division established the territorial structure that remains in place today.

Castelli has long been known for its ceramic artisans, who continue to produce colorful hand-painted pottery using techniques passed down through generations. Visitors can watch craftspeople at work in their studios throughout the town.

The coastal towns are connected by the A14 highway, making travel along the shore straightforward. The port at Giulianova provides access to maritime services for those interested in sea-based activities or boat excursions.

The highest peak of the Apennine range, Gran Sasso, sits within this province and draws hikers and climbers to its slopes. At the same time, long stretches of sandy beaches along the Adriatic offer a completely different landscape just a short journey away.
