In front of the "Torre di Cerrano" lie remains of the port used by the Roman town of Adria (now Atri), which is up in the hills behind Mutignano. Mutignano is a hill town and former "capoluogo" of the area, that grew up in the shadow of Atri. The town has a 15th-century Romanesque church dedicated to San Silvestro, and a Baroque church of San Antonio. San Silvestro contains a mural, "Tavola San Silvestro e sue storie", painted by the artist Andrea De Litio who is believed to have been born in Abruzzo.
