Popoli

Highlight • Settlement

Popoli is one of the most important spa centers in Abruzzo and on the border of the Majella National Park: one could say that it is one of the gateways to the protected area.
A few kilometers from the city center is the Pescara Springs Nature Reserve.

Gorges of San Venanzio

Highlight • Gorge

Established with regional law of 1998, the reserve embraces a territory rich in naturalistic emergencies. Morphologically it is divided into two completely different environments: the narrow limestone gorges upstream and the wide alluvial plain downstream, where one of the rare examples of river wood existing in Central Italy has been reconstituted. Connecting element, the waters of the Aterno river. Peculiarity of the reserve is the extraordinary balance between wild nature and the millenary presence of man. The rock paintings of Rava tagliata; the Roman aqueduct of the "ucchélle" which crosses the gorges on the right side of the valley along a tunnel carved into the rock; the surprising abundance of caves and natural shelters; the suggestion of the hermitage suspended over the river and of the votive shrines, memory of miracles for the faithful; the rural church of the Madonna di Contra: everything contributes to making the Gorges of San Venanzio a real place of the soul.

Piazza Garibaldi and Medieval Aqueduct, Sulmona

Highlight • Historical Site

The construction of the Sulmona aqueduct dates back to 1256 during the reign of Manfredi of Swabia (son of Frederick II of Swabia). The purpose of its construction was twofold: to irrigate the cultivated lands and to supply energy to the artisanal activities.
