At the Footsteps of the Majella

Positioned between the mountains and the sea!

To the visitor, the town offers the possibility to relax in the ample pine groves of the park, located at the entrance of  the town, or to visit the church of San Giacomo Apostolo that towers among the houses in the original historic center. Two pleasant walks, the first can be done on foot, are those toward the rural church of the Madonna del Roseto and the other to the border of the town of Montenerodomo, ascending to the plains of Juvanum: an important city of the Carecini a pre-italic people who inhabited the territory.  The archeological zone of Juvanum, where excavation still continues, is the best place for a comprehensive understanding of the history and culture of the territory.

Torricella, in addition to ensuring a welcome from hotels, agriturism and choice of restaurants and trattorie, offers the opportunity to purchase typical local products that complement the visit.

The town also preserves, in the territorial Museo (museum) recently opened, an interesting collection of archeological objects found in the zone of Juvanum.  In the museum, in a glass case and climatized, is a mummy of the eighteenth century, found under the parish church during restoration work.
