For lovers of ancient villages rich of history, a visit to the ancient villages of Corropoli and Sant’Omero is a must.

Just 10 minutes away from Tortoreto, we find the ancient village of Corropoli , where there is a perfectly visible Neolithic settlement, known as the Neolithic village of Ripoli and numerous remains of Roman villas and temples. For food lovers, the typical traditional dishes of the place are Maccheroncini alla Chitarra, Capra alla Neretese and Timballo Abruzzese, naturally accompanied by the excellent local wine!

Just 12 minutes away from Corropoli, passing through the Provincial Road 8 ° / SP8a and SP8 you reach Sant’Omero , a small village, rich in medieval history. A testimony of its ancient splendor are the traces of the walls that in 1400 surrounded the town. The historic center is very characteristic, inside the Medieval Tower and the Church of the Misericordia stand out, built in 1300 on the occasion of the terrible plague that struck the whole of Italy.
