Teramo

城市概覽

In 2023, it was home to 51,000 people.

History The ancient city of Teramo was called Pretut, and it was the most important center in the area. City of the Pretuzi, it is said that it was founded by the Phoenicians as a commercial emporium and was independent until the 3rd century BC, when it was subjected to the Romans who changed its name to Interamnia Pretutiorum, "city between the rivers" (in particular the Tordino and the vezzola). With Rome the city experienced a period of great prosperity thanks to the connections with the capital. Temples, the theatre and the amphitheatre were built. The barbarian invasions exposed it to the sack of the Visigoths in 410 AD, who razed it to the ground. Its reconstruction took place in 568; subject to the Normans, it was then a bishop's domain, a period that saw the construction of the new cathedral in the 14th century. At the end of the century the lordship of the Acquavivas was established, which silenced for a while the internal struggles that characterized social life in Teramo. Occupied by the French at the end of the 16th century, it returned to the Spaniards and to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies whose events it followed until the unification of Italy.

必看景點

1 Medieval village, Della Monica Castle, Via del castello. The medieval village is a complex of 19th-century buildings built on the small hill of San Venanzio, through an extravagant fusion in a single structure of different architectural and artistic styles, from Neo-Gothic to Moorish, with numerous contaminations deriving from the many training experiences gained over time by its author and owner Gennaro della Monica. This group of buildings and green areas is also identified, less exactly, with the denomination of Castello Della Monica. The building is being renovated and its interior can not be visited. (updated May 2023) 2 Cappuccini's church, Viale Mazzini. The chronicles report that the church was founded in 819; then had numerous remakes. The portal is in stone ashlars, and the facade has decorations made with cut bricks or geometric shapes rhomboidal brick, a type of decoration that leads back to the decorations of the ancient cathedral of Sancta Maria Aprutiensis. Of the extension of the fourteenth century, with the addition of two naves, remains the right aisle, interrupted by the inclusion of rooms used as sacristy, as well as small chapels, which show sixteenth-century features. There is no trace of the ancient cloister the church had. The building preserves an inlaid tabernacle and 18th-century wooden altars by Giovanni palombieri and his school; also 18th-century paintings are the high altar, which shows on the back more ancient works ascribable to the end of the 16th century. A Madonna and Child by Giacomo da Campli, once belonging to the church, is exhibited in the collections of the Pinacoteca Civica. (updated May 2023) 3 The Church of Santo Spirito. The Church is in Largo Proconsole along corso Porta Romana. Its origins are very old, and probably date back to 1200. During the 17th-18th centuries, the church underwent a total baroque makeover and today nearly nothing of the old medieval building is left. The brick facade, has a huge central window
