Lanciano is famous for the Sanctuary of the Eucharistic Miracle and its medieval center spread across three hills. Rich in churches, historic buildings, and culinary traditions such as the Panarda, it represents an important cultural and religious center in the region.

On the main altar of the church is placed the reliquary, containing the testimony of the first Eucharistic miracle.

Monastic complex located in the municipality of Fossacesia, this abbey is made up of a basilica and a convent. The works for its construction began in 1165.

The Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere stands on a hill in Fossacesia and dominates a stretch of the Costa dei Trabocchi from above. It consists of a basilica and a monastery which were built around the year 1000 on the remains of an ancient pagan temple dedicated to Venus. The abbey is surrounded by vineyards and olive groves that extend as far as the eye can see and from its belvedere you can enjoy an incomparable view of the waters of the Gulf of Venus.

The "San Francesco" church was built between 1252 and 1258 on the remains of the wall of the "San Legonziano" church below, making it one of the first monastery churches in Abruzzo. This place was the alleged site of the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, which, according to Christian tradition, probably took place here in the 7th century. The facade of the current building in Gothic style has been well preserved over the centuries. The upper part of the church was then rebuilt due to earthquake damage in the first half of the 18th century with elements of different origins as well as with material from an adjacent chapel. All in all a beautiful and impressive church that owes its importance less to its architecture than to the Eucharistic miracle - a visit is definitely worth it.

The monastic complex of San Giovanni in Venere consists of a basilica and the nearby monastery, both built at the beginning of the 13th century. The position is very panoramic: it is on a hill overlooking the nearby coast for several kilometers to the north and to the south.

A must for those who travel the cycle path of the coast of the trabocchi which can be reached with a small detour rewarded by the view
