L’Aquila is home to true gems of art and architecture. Noteworthy is the Basilica di Santa Maria di Collemaggio, which showcases a stunning blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles, highlighted by its famous pink and white stone façade and the tomb of Celestino V. Another significant landmark is the Fountain of the 99 Spouts, an emblematic symbol of the city that pays mysterious homage to its origins. These sites reflect the authentic spirit of a city that exists between the past and the present.

Within the green heart of the city, the Castle Park houses the Spanish Fortress, an impressive 16th-century stronghold. Today, it is the home of the National Museum of Abruzzo; the Fortress narrates the city’s history through valuable collections. Next to the Park Auditorium, designed by Renzo Piano, is a triumph of wood, light, and superb acoustics. It frequently hosts concerts, festivals, shows, and cultural gatherings that enliven the city.

Around 40 km from the city, Rocca Calascio dominates the landscape with its solitary grandeur. This ancient stone fortress, one of the highest in Italy, offers breathtaking views of the Gran Sasso massif. Often chosen as a film set, it’s a must-see destination if you love places with an extraordinary atmosphere.

Nicknamed the “Little Tibet” for its vast plateaus and suspended atmosphere, Campo Imperatore is the wild heart of Abruzzo. Perfect for hikes and e-bike rides, it is also home to Italy’s highest astronomical observatory. Here, you can immerse yourself in the most authentic natural surroundings.
