Pollutri: Between History and Culture
Among the hills of the Medio Vastese region, in the province of Chieti, lies Pollutri. This characteristic village combines architecture, history, and nature. Its origins date back, most likely, to 500 AD, but some archaeological finds indicate that the area was inhabited even in pre-Roman times. The history of this small town, which has just over two thousand inhabitants, can be felt at every step. The heart of Pollutri is the fortified village located in the highest part of the town, with porticoes, passages, staircases, and alleys. While the facades of the houses have been modernized between the 17th and 19th centuries, the cellars and basements retain an ancient, mysterious, and fascinating identity.
Visiting Pollutri
In addition to admiring the beauties of the fortified village, visiting Pollutri means appreciating many examples of ancient Christian architecture. In Piazza della Chiesa stands the Church of the Most Holy Savior, dating back to the 14th century. Abbot Pacichelli, in 1703, also spoke of the existence of a pointed bell tower. Currently, the church features a neo-Romanesque facade. There was also the monastery of San Barbato, founded in 1015, of which the original fountain has been found. Additionally, the remains of the Church of Santa Lucia, belonging to San Barbato, are visible, near which votive terracotta fragments dating back to the 3rd-1st century BC have been discovered.
The Bosco di Don Venanzio
In the territory of Pollutri, there is the guided natural reserve Bosco di Don Venanzio, a protected area established in 1999. With its approximately 78 hectares located 5 kilometers from the sea, it is one of the last floodplain forests on the Adriatic coast. The forest offers a solemn and enchanted atmosphere, with a series of river terraces overlooking the Sinello. In Pollutri, nature, tradition, and the present blend into an environment suspended in time, where ancient crafts such as embroidery, lace-making, and bobbin lace still thrive. The cuisine is also typical of the Medio Vastese, featuring 'ndroccioloni (homemade pasta), the award-winning Ventricina salami, wine tarallucci, and bocconotti.
What to Do in Pollutri
