Telese Terme Italy

In 460 was established a Diocese of Telese / Thelesin(us) (Latin adjective). Having fallen into decay after the Gothic War it was conquered by the Longobards, becoming part of the Lombard Duchy of Benevento as seat of a gastaldry (district). The city was destroyed in the years 847 and 860, by the Saracens, and again in the 11th century, during the war between King Roger II of Sicily and the Norman counts of the southern Italian mainland. A new Telesia was built; however, it was again pulverized in 1349, this time by an earthquake. Its former cathedral cattedrale Santa Croce, dedicated to the Holy Cross, now in ruins, was decommissioned after the bishops transferred their see to nearby Cerreto Sannita, yet the see retained the alternative title Diocese of Telese as well, even after a further merger into the Diocese of Cerreto Sannita–Telese–Sant’Agata de’ Goti. In 1883, after the Unification of Italy, thermal baths were built, whence the current full name Telese Terme since 1991. Telese became an independent commune in 1934.
