Meet your guide in the heart of Atri and step into the historic “Nicola e Luigi Sorricchio” Ducal Garden, located just steps away from the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
Begin your journey by learning about the garden's origins as an ancient Roman gymnasium with thermal baths. Continue to the time of the Dukes of Acquaviva, when the site became a Royal Riding Academy (Regia Cavallerizza). Finally, discover how the noble Sorricchio family transformed it into an Italian-style garden.
Admire the marble busts and the central monument dedicated to Giulio Antonio Acquaviva. Hear about the painstaking restoration efforts that have preserved the garden's beauty and history.
To conclude the tour, enjoy a complimentary glass of wine from Atri’s organic winery, VINUM HADRIANUM.
