Chieti Cathedral (Cattedrale di San Giustino) is located in the oldest part of the city located on a hill (Chieti alta). It was built in this place at the end of the 9th century.

Hiking

Why on a high hill? Churches played a dual role during this period. They served a defensive function and were cult centers. A high, hard-to-reach hill was ideal for defense and shelter during sieges, and on a symbolic level, building on the highest hills corresponded to a location "closer to God".

The Cathedral Church of San Giustino, also dedicated to the apostle Thomas and the Virgin of the Assumption, stands on an ancient factory of a previous Church.
A beautiful impact on the square of the same name.
