Čo vidieť v Termoli

Termoli Essentials

Termoli’s historic center, the Borgo Vecchio, is defined by the 13th-century Castello Svevo and the Romanesque Cattedrale di Santa Maria della Purificazione, which houses the relics of Saint Timothy. Along the coast, traditional trabucchi fishing platforms extend over the Adriatic. The town features unique landmarks like A Rejecelle, one of Italy's narrowest alleys, and the geographic intersection of the 42nd parallel north and the 15th meridian east, which defines Central European Time.
