TERMOLI

It is the most important town of the Molise coast.

The little ancient village, among the most beautiful ones in Italy, raises on a rocky promontory looking straight at the sea, in the middle one can see the Cathedral, a national monument and one of the most gorgeous example of Romanic art in Molise. On one side of the old village, fenced by the ancient walls, you find the charming Castello Svevo, likely built in the Norman period, its defensive structured was over the time empowered under the command of Federic II.

Since 2003 the city has been getting the award of  the “Bandiera Blu” (blue flag), Termoli is relevant tourist town, particularly appreciated for the quality of  the sea water and the safety of the beach and the shore.

The harbor  is very convenient in order to reach the neighbouring Isole Tremiti a true case of pure nature, especially for those who are fond of scuba diving.

 

To see

Cathedral

The façade does deserve a photo, the lower part is trimmed by seven arches, the middle one features bas-relieves representing the “Purification of  Mary”. Very refined are the sculptures of the two lions and the women heads in the other arches.

Inside it is remarkable to be seen the crypt and an XI century floor mosaic.

  

Swabian Castle

It is made of two main structures: a central body with four  crowning towers which the blurred circular shape still preserves a noticeable look, and the upper tower, isolated from the rest of the structure has on the top an Air Force weather forecast laboratory.

The inside of the castle at times hosts various exhibitions.

 

Trabucco
It is a fishing machine  made out of a thick palisade stuck among the rocks, ending with a platform linked to the land by  a footbridge. Two antennas diving into the water hold a rectangular web that is dropped in the sea by  a winch. In the Termoli one not only has the chance to see them but you must take pictures of them either.

 

Appointments

3-4 August Feast of San Basso

The procession is so striking, you can admire in the sea boats with the statue of the patron San Basso, transported by a  fishing boat drawn by fortune among the shipowners of Termoli.
