TERMOLI private tour: a sunny walled town on the Adriatic Coast

Embark on a guided tour of Termoli, a town rich in artistic beauties and stunning views. Known particularly in the summer as a seaside destination, it also invites exploration of its splendid historic center.

The journey starts at the Belvedere Tower, the main entrance to the ancient village surrounded by defensive walls. This tower, positioned near the port, served as an early warning system against potential enemy attacks. Move to S. Antonio Square, where you’ll find the most beautiful viewpoint in Termoli, complete with a fountain featuring marine creatures and a young fisherman. Enjoy a stunning panorama over the city, encompassing beaches and enchanting trabucchi.

A short distance away lies the Svevo Castle, an external visit to this symbol of the town. Built in the Norman era and fortified by Frederick II of Svevia, it overlooks the Adriatic Sea, standing as a defense against coastal threats. Stroll through the characteristic streets of the ancient village, including the rejecélle, one of the narrowest streets in Italy, which is a true attraction for visitors.

Continue the tour with a visit to the Cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria della Purificazione, showcasing Romanesque-Apulian style architecture. The beautiful facade adorned with seven arches, bas-reliefs, and a majestic door will captivate you. Inside, explore the crypt housing the relics of San Basso and Timoteo, patrons of the town.

Leave the ancient village to descend the Trabucchi road and discover the suggestive Trabucco di Celestino. These ancient wooden fishing machines, suspended over the sea and connected to the quay by a walkway and large net on the sea side, offer a picturesque scene, particularly during sunset—an iconic and widely photographed location in Termoli.

On this splendid avenue, witness the Trabucco di S. Antonio and the Lighthouse. Conclude the guided tour by moving to the seafront, where you can admire the wonderful white sandy beaches that, in the summer, transform Termoli into one of the most famous seaside resorts in Molise.
