Chieti Attractions

 
Above the Pescara valley, in a situation affording extensive views, is Chieti (330m/1,089ft; pop. 55,000), capital of the province of the same name and the see of an archbishop. In Piazza Vittorio Emanuele are the Town Hall (collection of pictures) and the Gothic cathedral of San Giustino, with a Baroque interior. From the rear of the Town Hall the town's principal street, Corso Marrucino, runs southwest, passing near a group of three temples (to the right, first century), to the municipal park and the Villa Comunale (views!).
