Churches and places of worship Chieti

The Cathedral was initially dedicated to St. Thomas and at a later time to St. Justin. The building was rebuilt in the '300 and then, in the '700 in which it was almost totally modified. The part of the façade and the right side, however, go back to the '900. The architects who did the work were Bartolomeo di Giacomo and then Antonio da Lodi. The Treasure of the Cathedral houses valuable artifacts, ancient sacred furnishings and works of art.

It's situated on the ruins of a Roman temple that can be admired inside the National Museum of Civitella. For many generations now, the church boasts of a fraternity who participates in the Procession of the Dead Christ.

Rebuilt in 1165 is one of the city's most interesting churches.It Contains, inter alia, an oil painting attributed to Salvator Rosa and a large panel of Chieti painter Raffaele Del Ponte depicting the Assumption of the Virgin

Santa Maria del Tricalle dates back to the fifteenth century even if it was renovated several times over the years. The last restoration ended in 1946, also being opened to the public. There is a hypothesis that the building was built on the remains of an ancient temple by Diana Trivia. During the 18th century it was used as a church inside a cemetery. It is currently closed most of the time, so it is difficult to visit it.

Its convent dates back to 1239, but an even earlier church dedicated to San Lorenzo existed on that spot. The whole church is decorated with stucco and paintings on canvas and on wall.
