Atessa, an ancient medieval city The long history of Atessa dates back to the 5th century AD, immediately after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. But it is with the Middle Ages that the city experienced its period of maximum flowering, becoming in the fifteenth century the favorite town of Queen Giovanna II of Naples. After Lanciano, Atessa is the second best preserved city in the Val di Sangro, with a historical imprint evident in the alleys, churches, buildings. The medieval traces overlook every corner although, around the middle of the 18th century, many structures were modified with terracotta, according to the dictates of the late Baroque.

The ancient Tixa, today Santa Croce, branches around Piazza Castello while the most external ring (Via Menotti de Francesco), acts as a connection between the wide Town Hall and Piazza Santa Croce with the homonymous, very ancient church. The ancient design of the walls is illustrated by the churches of Madonna della Belta, Porta Santa Margherita, open spaces and masonry. South of San Leucio there is the village of Ate (San Michele), with a spiral structure that culminates in the wide Torretta.
