Caramanico Terme is a comune and town in the Province of Pescara in the Abruzzo region of Italy

[edit] Geography

Caramanico Terme is Situated at 700mt. a.s.l. near the confluence of the Orfento and Orta rivers, on a hilltop between the Monte Morrone and the Majella mountains.[1]

[edit] History

The town takes its name from either cara, meaning rock, or from arimannia, a lombard establishment in the late Middle Ages. Then the name Terme was added in 1960 because of the presence of a spa nearby. The present settlement is recorded since lombard times. Then it underwent a remarkable development in the XIV-XV centuries, under the D'Aquino family, and in that period many important monuments were built. In 1706 a terrible earthquake nearby destroyed the town.

[edit] Sites

  • Church of S. Maria Maggiore (XV century)
  • Church of St. Tommaso, founded in the 12th century in honor of Thomas of Canterbury.
