With its numerous late 19th-century villas and long sandy beach, Silvi is situated on the border between the Provinces of Teramo and Pescara.
Perched high on hill, the old medieval village of Castrum Silvi dominates the landscape with its breast walls with arches, that surround it like a crown.
The smell of the salty sea, broom and thousands of other smells waft up into this old town into its little streets, alleyways and colored houses.
On a clear day you can see the faint outline of the Balkan coast in the distance while the once perennially snow-capped Gran Sasso Mountain rises behind you.
Silvi dates back to the Middle Ages and it became the fief of the Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere in the 14th-century only to subsequently fall under the rule of the Aquaviva family, dukes of nearby Atri, who at the time ruled a wide swath of the province of Teramo and were chiefly responsible for its growth.
The unique location of Silvi Paese (called Castelbelfiore until the 19th century) led to the town's unusual spindle-shaped acropolis layout with single main street, from which a network of narrow streets branch off.
The Cerrano and Concio gullies run along the sides of the hill down towards the sea.
In 1863, the building of the railroad changed the face of the marina and contributed greatly to its growth.
Vivid Italy is your perfect choice for a holiday in Silvi . In Silvi we have villas, apartments and hotels ideal for your holiday.
