The history of the territory of Campomarino, a town in the Molise region which
overlooks the Adriatic Sea, dates back to the IX-XVIII centuries B.C. In 1456,
the town was badly damaged by an earthquake and was almost completely deserted:
in the XV century, however, Campomarino was repopulated by Albanian refugees who were forced to leave their native land by the advance of the Turks into the
Balkans. After numerous governments, in 1503, the power passed to the Di Sangro
family, the last to be in possession of the town.
Today Campomarino, as well as being one of the more popular seaside
resorts, is an important port for tourism and for fishing. North and south of
the port, there are wonderful, peaceful beaches. The church of Santa Maria a
Mare, in the centre of today's town, is the most important of the town: it was
built between the XII and the XIII centuries in Romanesque style. The most
ancient remains are the apses and the crypt: for some parts of the interior of
the latter, some Roman elements were used to good effect, including some
capitals with plant motifs; inside the crypt there is also a fresco from the
fourteen hundreds portraying San Nicola and San Demetrio, the latter depicted as he fights against the Moors.
