«L’avere dunque innanzi quest’ameno teatro, e il poter con un
volgere di capo variarsi insieme il punto di vista in altri niente meno dilettevoli
e vaghi, a me sembra certamente che sia sufficiente compenso agl’incomodi.»
(Giuseppe Colucci, Delle Antichità
Picene, Tomo XXX, p. 5)
Located on the ridge between the Tennacola valley and the Salino valley, Penna San Giovanni has a well-preserved historic center within the ancient curtain wall.
You can admire churches, remains of fortifications, but also the town hall and the monastery: in short, there are many architectural riches that can attract the eye of the tourist, while at the same time enjoying the healing effects of the sulphurous waters present here.
