Teramo
The city of Teramo is situated at 265 metres a.s.l. where the Vezzola torrent merges with the river Tordino. Teramo is only 25 kilometres from the Adriatic sea and can be reached via the A14 and A24 motorways or via rail (Teramo-Giulianova line) which is linked to the Adriatic coastal line. It has 55,000 inhabitants and it is the provincial capital. It offers interesting historical features dating back from the Roman era, the Middle Ages and more recent periods. The Cathedral, the churches of Sant'Anna and San Domenico, plus the Museum with its many paintings and majolica tiles are all well worth a visit. The Astronomy Observatory of Collurania is in the vicinity. Teramo is also a University city.
