The guided tour of Termoli will make you discover a town rich in artistic beauties and stunning views, known especially in the summer as a seaside destination, but also for a walk in its splendid historic centre. We start from the Belvedere Tower, the main entrance to the ancient village surrounded by defensive walls, a tower near the port to report any enemy attacks, and we move to Piazza Sant' Antonio where we find the most beautiful viewpoint in Termoli, a fountain with marine creatures and a young fisherman, and a stunning panorama over the whole city and beyond, between beaches and enchanting trebuchets.
A few steps away we find the Swabian Castle that we will visit externally, symbol of the town and overlooking the Adriatic Sea to defend the coast from enemy attacks, built in the Norman era and later fortified by Frederick II of Svevia with four rounded towers and a central tower of the meteorological station of the military air force. Strolling through the characteristic streets of the ancient village, among small very suggestive streets, we find the rejecélle, one of the narrowest streets in Italy, which is a real attraction for visitors.
The tour continues by visiting the Cathedral dedicated to Saint Maria della Purificazione, in Romanesque-Apulian style with the beautiful facade with seven arches decorated with bas-reliefs and the majestic door; inside we visit the crypt with the relics of Saint Basso and Timoteo, patrons of the town. We leave the ancient village to go down the Trabocchi road and discover the suggestive Trabocco di Celestino, the ancient wooden fishing machines built in the sea and connected to the quay by a walkway and a large net on the sea side used for fishing, one of the most famous and photographed places in Termoli especially with the sunset light.
On this splendid avenue we also see the Trabocco di S. Antonio and the Lighthouse. We end the guided tour by moving to the seafront where you can admire the wonderful beaches of white sand that in the summer make Termoli one of the most famous seaside resorts in Molise.
