Lanciano
Lanciano, a town in Abruzzo's province of Chieti, is known as the site of the first recorded Catholic Eucharistic Miracle, drawing pilgrims to its historic centre, which holds many churches and a walkable concentration of cafés and restaurants. Granted city status in 1212 by Frederick II of Swabia, it was once the capital of the Frentani and later a district capital under the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The town sits at an elevated position a short distance from the Adriatic coast, with mountain views inland.
