About Chieti
Chieti, a town with roots dating back to ancient times, stands as a true gem in the heart of Abruzzo, Italy. Founded by the Italic Marrucini people and later flourishing under Roman rule, Chieti is one of Italy's oldest cities, rich in history and culture. Its ancient heritage comes to life at the Roman Theater, where visitors can explore the remnants of a grand amphitheater, and in the Archeological Museum La Civitella, home to priceless artifacts like the Capestrano Warrior, an iconic symbol of Italic civilization.
Chieti's charm is also in its blend of medieval and Renaissance architecture. The stunning Cathedral of San Giustino mixes Romanesque and Gothic elements, while the Palazzo de' Mayo, a Renaissance palace, showcases the town’s artistic roots.
