Der Torre del Cerrano ist ein beeindruckender Küstenturm aus dem 16. Jahrhundert und eines der Wahrzeichen zwischen Pineto und Silvi Marina. Er wurde zum Schutz der Küste vor Piraten errichtet und steht heute mitten im geschützten Parco del Cerrano. Direkt vor der Küste befinden sich zudem die Überreste eines antiken römischen Hafens. Ein wunderschöner historischer Ort direkt am Meer und ein besonderes Highlight unserer Wanderung. Heute beherbergt der historische Torre del Cerrano ein kleines Museo del Mare und Informationsbereiche zur geschützten Meereslandschaft.

Mutignano is a picturesque medieval mountain village in Abruzzo and is considered the historical origin of present-day Pineto. The village is located on a hill with a beautiful view of the Adriatic coast, the surrounding hills, and the characteristic Calanchi. Particularly worth seeing are the narrow alleys, old houses, and the historic Church of San Silvestro. The colorful murals of Mutignano tell stories from earlier village life on the house facades. Scenes from everyday life, work, and agricultural tradition make the historic town center a small open-air gallery. Mutignano is therefore also known as "Paese dei Murales" – Village of Murals. A small, quiet place with a lot of history and typical Abruzzese charm

Francavilla al Mare – Sandy beach and cycling fun by the sea Francavilla al Mare marks the transition between the wide sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast and the wilder Costa dei Trabocchi. Here you can cycle relaxedly along a kilometers-long golden-yellow beach with a wide, car-free boulevard right by the sea. The modern Pontile di Francavilla extends far into the Adriatic Sea, offering a beautiful view of the coastline. Along the way, you can enjoy cozy beach bars, terraces, and ice cream parlors – the perfect place for a break or a refreshing dip. Thanks to the flat, well-maintained cycle path, this is an ideal stop for any cyclist, from road bike to city bike. A wonderful place to start or relaxingly end your coastal tour.

Cathedral with ceramic plates! On Piazza Duomo, the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta will surely catch your eye immediately. If you look closely, you will see that the tower of the Gothic cathedral from 1300 is decorated with ceramic plates in various colors, which change throughout the day with the position of the sun. Incidentally, the shape of the tower, an octagon with a pyramid on top, is unique for the time when the cathedral was built. The funny thing is that you also see this reflected in other churches in Atri and in other villages and towns in Abruzzo. The story goes that the architect of the cathedral applied it here first, after which the idea was adopted by other builders. Underground church and water reservoirs Around 300 BC, on the spot where the cathedral now stands, there was a large square with baths and reservoirs underneath to store rainwater. Only then was the cathedral built on top of it, after which the reservoirs were converted into an underground church. Triggered?
