Welcome to Atessa

The town of Atessa is a village in Abruzzo located in the lower valley of the Sangro river articulated on a crescent-shaped pad. The origins of the village date back after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, around the 8th and 9th century, probably the merger of two settlements, Ate and Tixa. The places to visit are the Duomo of San Leucio of the 9th century, the Church of Santa Croce of the 7th century and the Church of St. Peter, the oldest. Some doors and remains of walls, stand on the streets of the city, as Porta San Michele, Porta Santa Margherita or the Arco'Ndriano, together with prestigious seventeenth-century and eighteenth-century palaces. To visit in the historic city of Atessa there are the Museum AligiSassu in which are exhibited 210 works on paper made by the Master, the impressive Convent of San Pasquale and the particular Fountain GiòPomodoro, situated in the heart of Piazza Oberdan. Among the most ancient and most felt events by the people of Atessa there is the town festival dedicated to the Saints Maria Assunta, Rocco, San Leucio ed Emidio from 15 to 18 August. Other events of national importance are the gastronomic journey of "CortiAntiche" and the Custom Party, rock and roll event that draws artists from all over the world.
