This is a very little town where history and culture, tradition and religious worship merge together in this enchanting town of unique artistic interest. During Middle Ages, under the dominion of the Farnese, Campli became the meeting point for various painters and artists coming from schools like the ones of Giotto and Raffaelo. They have left behind masterpieces that still enrich the main monuments of the historical centre and of the neighbouring villages: the splendid Cathedral of Santa Maria in Platea (14th century), the Church of San Francesco with adjoining convent (seat of the archaeological Museum), the 15th-century Convent of San Berardino and the Church dedicated to the Madonna della Misericordia. However, very important is the Church of San Paolo, for its great artistic and religious value due to the adjoining Scala Santa, that was named so in 1772 when it became a custom to grant plenary indulgence to those who went up the twenty eight steps of hard oak on their knees and with bowed head. A series of six fascinating symbolic paintings accompany the penitents along the path of their atonement; three on the right and three on the left illustrate the most touching moments of the Passion of Jesus Christ. Then transfer to ATRI, a small medieval town, located in a very particular position, at its back Gran Sasso Mountain and in front the sea side view as it is at 450mt over the sea level.
