Visit Atessa, Abruzzo - AbruzzoHolidayInformation

This Medieval City orginates on the hill top and has expanded down the sides of the hill over time, developing a solid industry too, protecting the wealth of the locals. A vibrant old city with all of the Italian charm you would expect. Perfect for an escape from modern structures into stone built medieval narrow streets. An abuntant supply of festivals throughout the summer months. Strangely, it offers the legend of a Dragon for which there is a rib conserved in the cathedral of St Leucio!
