| | Travel Destinations: Termoli, Molise, Italy |
 | | Currently the largest and most important littoral resort town in Molise, Termoli consists of a newer, more modern zone and a contained ancient village, referred to as "Borgo Vecchio." Perched high up on a rocky peak, Borgo Vecchio is comprised mainly of local sailors' ancient homes. |
 | | Besides the beach-which is divided into North and South sectors-the Termoli tourist should visit the Cathedral of San Basso, where the relics of the eponymous saint, a bishop of Nice, have been kept since (roughly) the 10th century. |
 | | Termoli's impressive, 12th century Swabian Castle hosted the city's garrison and, from its advantageous position, once commanded the Adriatic, protecting citizens from oncoming pirate attacks. |
