This beautiful city, the city of Teramo is situated between the highest mountains of the Apennines (Gran Sasso d’Italia) and the Adriatic coast. It is indeed one of the few places where you can reach, both the sunny beaches of the Adriatic sea and the 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) covered by snow Gran Sasso peaks, in less than half an hour from the city centre.
The town is by the confluence of the Vezzola and Tordino rivers.
One of the mainsights not to be missed is the ancient Roman Theatre
That was built at the beginning of the II century, under the rule of the emperor Hadrian. The theatre is merely a stone’s throw away from the Duomo of Teramo.
The walls are 10 ft (3.05 m) long and are a testimony of how big the theatre was when its capacity was 3.000 spectators. Since the fall of Rome, the building materials were used in other projects.
In 1918 its ruins were found and in 2007 the rebuilding project was designed. After the demolition of Palazzo Adamoli planned for 2011, the theatre will rediscover its first glory. The masterpiece was described through the poetic lines of famous poet Gabriele D’Annunzio. He said “The remains of the theatre of Interamnia proves its ancient Roman majesty”.
Another pearl of the city is the Basilica Cathedral of Santa Marria Assunta and Saint Berardo, it is surely the most important piece of art in Teramo. The construction began in 1158 under the wish of the bishop Guido II, because he was eager to have a new location for San Berardo da Pagliara memorabilia.
It was consecrated and completed in 1176. Most of the material used to build was taken from the theater and the Roman amphitheater. The tower built in XI and XII centuries has three bells and it is 165 ft (50.29 m) long.
Another relevant masterpiece is the silver canopy of Nicola da Guardiagrele, which took 15 years to build (from 1433 to 1448). Since September 8, 2007, it is now possible to visit the subterranean crypt of Saint Berardo da Pagliara, the patron saint of Teramo.
