Atri — Cattedrale sui Calanchi

Abruzzo

Atri's Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, with its important cycle of Renaissance frescoes, stands at the edge of town directly above the ribbed grey calanchi badlands protected in the nearby nature reserve. The old-town lanes are level and give repeated glimpses of the badlands dropping away below.
