Chieti lies along the Pescara River valley, its historic centre occupying a long hill between the Adriatic coast and Abruzzo’s Apennine interior. Known in Roman times as Teate Marrucinorum, the city retains ancient remains at the Tempietti Romani, a group of Roman temple structures in the old town. The National Archaeological Museum of Abruzzo, in Villa Frigerj, holds important regional collections including the celebrated Warrior of Capestrano. Piazza Gian Gabriele Valignani and the Cathedral of San Giustino form a focal point of the upper town, while newer neighbourhoods extend down the slopes.
