Basilica Cattedrale di Atri

The Co-Cathedral Basilica of Atri is one of the most important monumental complexes in Abruzzo, guardian of centuries of history, art and spirituality. The tour takes you on a journey of discovery through its architecture, chapels and great pictorial cycle, offering a voyage between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in the heart of the city. Starting from 8 April 2026, major restoration works have begun in the Co-Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta in Atri. The intervention concerns the mural paintings of the apse and naves, with the aim of studying their state of conservation and restoring them to their former splendour. The works are supervised by the Soprintendenza, together with a team of specialist restorers and technicians. During this period, the frescoes painted by Andrea De Litio will not be visible to the public for several months. The overall restoration will last approximately one year. You can still continue your visit: thanks to the audio guide, you will be able to see images of the frescoes and discover their history. Thank you for your patience: soon you will be able to admire the Cathedral in a renewed guise.
