On 21, 22 and 23 august from 18.00 to 23.00 free tour of archaeological Lanciano and of the Lancianonovecchia quarter scheduled every hour starting from Auditorium Diocleziano; the itinerary is the following:

The Diocletian Bridge

The first bridge was built and intended to go beyond the Pietrosa valley which has been found in archaeological excavation digs in the Cathedral in 1785 and handed down to us by the historian Omobono Bocache, who tells us of a Roman bridge built by the Senate and the people of Anxanum which they dedicated to Diocletian. The majestic structure that today we can admire is a complex series of work carried out between the 13th and 14th centuries. The primitive chapel is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In 1513, the second bridge was built next to the other one. In 1520 it was covered by vaults so; the upper level was expanded to the church of the Madonna del Ponte.
