Very traditional. Every Italian marriage is usually gifted with one of these candied almond treats. Old factory which hasn't changed the way they create these treats and gifts, keeping the tradition alive.

Fabulous! Heard about it on Stanley Tucci's Disney+ show when it featured as part of his tour of Abruzzo and it did not disappoint. Delightful and helpful staff, amazing olde worlde shop and the most incredible array of confetti, very good prices too.

This is a do not miss in Sulmona! A fantastic history. The video upstairs is the best. So informative and well made. The staff is kind and friendly. All the confetti to taste and try. Make sure you buy all the gifts!! We highly recommend.

A very nice museum with free entry presenting some history of manufacturing confetti. I really enjoyed it as well as the confetti I could buy there.

A must see destination in Abruzzo. Not only an ideal place to buy confetti, but an interesting history of the Pelino family business.

Very informative on how Pelino company started. Free to get in. Gift shop to buy your confetti.

Worth a visit if you are in sulmona. Sulmona is a lovely town, with a bit of history. The museum is pretty small (think three rooms), but the products are really really good.

The complex dates back to the 14th century, initially serving as a hospital. Over time, it evolved to include a church, orphanage, and a confraternity dedicated to the Annunciation. The complex has undergone various transformations and expansions throughout the centuries, reflecting different architectural styles to include elements of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. The complex was damaged by earthquakes, most significantly in 1706.

Quiet Church small and modest, interesting statue of Madonna and Child.

Beautiful place. Little maintenance required

Worth the visit if already in Sulmona

Sulmona Corso Ovidio where this church is has a delightful array of shops bars and gift shops

Great place to visit while in Sulmona!

I love it

What a great place to be. Wonderful theatre! Great view from any angle and very good acoustic.

Beautiful theater with wonderful events ❤️

A wonderful theater for a small town

Fantastic !

Belpo

(Translated by Google) I frequent it very often. Beautiful and very interesting shows take place there, both by the Sulmona Musical Camerata and by prose. It is possible to subscribe for the entire theater season which generally begins in October and ends in April each year. (Original) Lo frequento molto spesso. Vi si svolgono spettacoli belli e molto interessanti sia della Camerata musicale di Sulmona ,sia di prosa. È possibile abbonarsi per tutta la stagione teatrale che in genere inizia ad Ottobre e finisce ad Aprile di ogni anno.

(Translated by Google) Historic and very elegant theater. Very good acoustics and a remarkable stage. The bathrooms need improvement (Original) Teatro storico e davvero elegante. Molto buona l’acustica e il palco notevole. I bagni da migliorare

Very nice and another feature that makes tourists visit! It was rebuilt at some point and doesn't rain original exterior, but still quite nice

Is a magic place where almost everything happens there, the market, traditional arrangements and really good ice cream

History a beauty to admire.

As the name suggests, not an Roman aqueduct, but a medieval one. Built by King Manfred of Sicily in 1256 -- though not by him personally, most likely. This was quite a technical feat and it highlighted and reinforced the importance of Sulmona in the Swabian period.

The surrounding mountains looked amazing, a very beautiful town, worth a visit

Interesting medieval aqueduct that has been incorporated into the main square in Sulmona.

Street with a lot confetti stores (almond candy). Nice touristic streer

Its the south entrance to the Town of Sulmona Italy. Very convenient since my B@B converted monastery is right there.

Historic doorway leading to Sulmona Centro Storico beautiful centre Sweet almond confetti shops ,a spectacular sight Market Wednesday and Saturday in piazza Garibaldi drink coffee at Tucci bar famous in George Clooney film The American,

This is the gate to Napoli built in the 14th century.

When we were there there was a market in the square with great street food.

Very beautiful, the entrance to the town square

Amazing piece of architecture

Gorgeous old town gate

Beautiful place. We met some school children that wanted to practice their English and they made us some carvings on tree bark that were so nice. They made our trip actually!

Very pretty, nice for pinics or walking you little friends!

In winter it is covered in white and is fascinating between history and nature. In autumn it is a spectacle of autumnal colours, in spring the scent, colours and sound of birds chirping.

Very beautiful place 😍

Beautiful park. You can relax here. Just today 5/8/2018 they are doing some constructions outside. But it doesn't disturb you to enjoy the lovely sun

Love the flowers in the garden.

A green and tranquil space raised up in the town to give lots of great views. Plenty of shade and places to rest.

Coming from the railway station it should be your first stop. It is a roman church with a crypt from the eight century. During the years the church has got baroque and renaissance influence. There is a lot to see and I spent there more than an hour to enjoy all the details. Don’t mis the 14 th century Crucifixion fresco, the charming Madonna of the furnaces (11th century), Chapel of S. Panfilo (who saved the city from the plague), the organ at the entrance and the crypt with the fine marble entrance.

A rich and nicely decorated Vatican Church. I did appriciate the marbel and granit works. Aswell the writings on the inner chapel which every chriatian should follow, expecially the second one which states "Da qui si esce per amare il prossimo." Something that the same Vatican should learn to follow.

Lovely cathedral, with gorgeous architecture/art and easily accessible crypt.

Very nice cathedral.

I'm just leaving a review for this Chapel so there are no longer "666" reviews....

Amazing,it is a massive church and has a hole underground area under the church

Beautifully renovated for Pope's visit few years back.

Coop is a very good supermarket with good produce. I don't know about the other shops. Food is mainly fast food, or anyway there's no healthy choice really, but it is convenient to stop there to get groceries while travelling in the region

Don't expect this Mall to be a Megalo (Chieti), it has few stores, all very affordable, and a good "food court". The TIM office is limited in service. There are vendors in the aisles. It's worth a trip to investigate. It's more like 3-1/2 stars.

Good shops including supermarket, and a playground for kids.

Can find mostly everything, good prices and offers!

Great variety of stores

Useful shopping centre.

Ok

Great food, great service and very tasty. We had 3 sandwiches with ham and salami and the ingredients were fresh and taste. The Gluten Free sandwiches were tasty.

One of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve ever tried, fresh ingredients and really good combinations of flavors. Friendly staff and great location, you can eat it outside in the historical town centre. Btw, if you are looking for an english menu, there is no need to take a picture of the Italian one and translate with Google like we did, when you enter the bistro, just turn around and there is an English menu on the wall behind you. :) We highly recommend to try the sandwiches and will definitely come back if we visit Sulmona in the future. 5/5 ⭐️🥪

I was touring from Canada and me and my friends decided to stop at this fine sandwich establishment. This was the best sandwich I ever had in my life. For only 5€, you can get a whole footlong sandwich loaded with meat. Upon finishing my sandwich, I was left with a sense of awe, and my mouth felt as if it was experiencing the best meal ever. The staff were also very helpful and spoke english. Anyone who is looking for an amazing lunch or dinner, maybe even breakfast would enjoy this very much.

This place is amazing. I was overwhelmed by the number of options available, but luckily the nice lady behind the counter gave her recommendation, and oh man, she did recommend. In most cases I am cautious with prosciuto crudo, but it was somehow easy to bite into, and the lemon-infused olive oil with the combination of Parmeggiano Reggiano, excellent. Really. Thank you! P.s. the music was great (some alter-metal-rock. Nice one :D ).

I had the campotosto and the parmigiana here while in sulmona. Both absolutely amazing and fresh, with bread lightly toasted to perfection. If I lived here I’d make it a point to try all 30 or so sandwiches on their menu, but alas…

No seating. But excellent take away sandwiches, and great value!

Delicious! You can choose suggested sandwiches or made it on your own. Excellent quality of ingredients.

Great place tucked away across the big square. Really positive atmosphere and quite clean. Check it out. Music could be better for the 5th star :)

Great service and awesome music!!!

Great burgers, and wonderful draft beer. My new go-to place in Sulmona!

A magnificent time portal into the beat days of your life!

It is a nice place to go i loved it😍😍😍😍

Fast, good and lovely beers

Bellp

I will say that I am a bit bias in liking this pizzeria. I was one of the English teachers that had recently been teaching in schools in Sulmona, and on our first day teaching, the owner's daughter (if I am correct in my limited understanding of Italian) asked me and my classmates for our coffee order to welcome us to Sulmona, and to teaching her and class. When we tried to decline, she insisted on it! It made us feel so welcomed and really was one of the highlights of our experience there. We made a point to go there during our breaks in the days that followed. The coffee was very well priced, and the pizza was wonderful. While the tea was too expensive for my liking, (€3.50), I would factor that to it being a predominately coffee drinking country, instead of tea drinking one. My classmates were able to enjoy their espresso for just over €1.00. While I won't say the owners daughter's name, this message is to her: Thank you so much for welcoming us to your town, and school, and for you and your classmates being wonderful students.

Nice :)

Visited for a early lunch Asked if they cooked fresh pizza. They said they would, but after 45 min wait served 2 slices from the counter, which were pretty average A good thing we had beer

(Translated by Google) Unique pizza and high-level desserts. However, the prices of pizza by the slice are quite high, a piece of margherita costs €1.80. Nothing to say about the desserts, good from every point of view (€3). (Original) Pizza unica e dolci di alto livello. Tuttavia i prezzi della pizza al trancio sono abbastanza alti, un pezzo di margherita viene 1,80 €. Nulla da dire sui dolci, buoni sotto ogni punto di vista (3 €).

(Translated by Google) unfortunately you can't give zero stars....1 vegetarian pizza to take away, 2 slices of margherita, 1 small tomato-only pizza to take away (I still haven't understood why they made it small since I had asked for a normal pizza to take away....which is already small), a small packaged biscuit....€18.40....to be avoided like the plague (Original) purtroppo non si possono dare zero stelle....1 pizza vegetariana da asporto, 2 tranci di margherita, 1 pizzetta solo pomodoro piccola da asporto (non ho ancora capito perché l'hanno fatta piccola visto che avevo chiesto una normale pizza da asporto....che è già piccola di suo), un piccolo biscotto confezionato....18.40€....da evitare come la peste

Simple meals, great service.

Museum spread across multiple floors, amazing views, and access to the temple ruins bundled in ticket. Nile mosiac...Wow!

beautiful museum former residence of the Colonna family, Sciarra Colonna killed the pope Bonifacio VIII of Gaeta

It's a mystery why this museum is not more popular. Perhaps Palestrina is possibly not "en route" for many tourists, but the museum offers a very interesting collection of statues, mosaics, murals, vases, and other objects from antiquity, Greek & Roman. Building itself is also fascinating since it is based on a Roman temple of Fortuna Primigenia, with columns on the 1st floor visible.. The entrance fee is very reasonable...

Stunning spot for taking pics

Very interesting amazing place! It deserves a visit even if it not very popular

One of a kind, a must see place if you're interested in world history..

Elegance inside elegance. Ellenistic statues in a 1500 palace with the semicircular shape and materials of the previous roman theatre. Everything overlooking plane circled by soft hills and the sea far away. Worth a vist just for the container. The content goes well beyond the descriptions of even careful guides. Alas no electronic payments for tickets...

Brilliant place, really quiet in February. Loved it.

A dive into the history, an excellent walk to understand the majesty of Roman Empire and the high level of engineering realised thousands years ago. I would love to assist a classical concert here

Bellissimo! It is a fantastic place to see. Primiry for adults because of the long walk

A lovely location for a day trip from Rome, with its pine shadows even worth a little sweat in the summer heat

Great old place to visit

Great sight

This place is amazing. Clean, great location near train. Marta host is fantastic. Beautiful setting and delicious breakfast. Best place in Sulmona, we will return.

It was absolutely amazing! The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. The breakfast on the rooftop was very special and Marta (the host) is super kind and helpful. Definitely a recommendation.

What a beautiful B&B and a beautiful lady running it. We have not had such a wonderful experience in a very long time. Everything about this place is wonderful! The room was gorgeous. The food was perfection and the views were breathtaking. We cannot wait to return.

this was the most amazing b&b we’ve ever stayed in! Marta was incredibly kind and the property was beautiful!! The whole entryway is stone with gorgeous plants. And the room could not have been more clean - the cleanest room we’ve stayed in during our long trip. We loved the breakfast (the most amazing coffee) and the recommendations for the beautiful city of Sulmona. We will be back!

We got to our room, and it was fun that the owner of the place, Marta, received us. The room is clean and tidy and the breakfast is particularly indulgent: fruit, yogurt and muesli, any egg and bread you like. A lovely place with a balcony for an amazing sunset. . Recommend with love

Yes, it was incredibly beautiful! Marta was a wonderful host. The room was amazing, comfortable , super clean and tastefully decorated. She speaks English perfectly and will help you with all your questions. If you’re in this area of Italy, don’t overlook this great B and B.

Amazing location and a super host. Marta is the sweetest person. She makes you feel like you are at home. Can’t wait to go back to this gem and stay longer.

(Original) Sicuramente per il periodo, ma era molto trascurato. Un peccato. E nulla da ammirare. A parte questa bella scalinata a mo di teatro greco.

This is by far the best restaurant we have found in Sulmona. Everything is delicious and we’ve tried quite a bit of it 😊 We were in Sulmona for a total of 11 days, we found this place day 5 and never looked back. Great food, perfect pasta, lamb out of this world and wine!!! The atmosphere is charming and makes you feel like you’re at an Italian family dinner on a Sunday. The staff is delightful and gracious even with our limited Italian, they treated us like family. The owner is kind and attentive ( easy on the eyes 👀) If you’re in the area it is a must on your list.

Great food, specially the agnello porchettato. And also, here is the the best tiramisu in Italy, creamy, delicate and not so sweet. We will highly recommended this restaurant.

This is an unmossable experience I came alone but the vibe was incredible and the food very local and fresh. Wine was on another level if you are into natural wine this is a haven of incredible local wine and from other parts of Europe.... Can't speak more highly of this place 😍

Update: I returned this past Friday night in early September 2021 and I have to say the menu just wasn’t the same. We had the same waiter Edmund and he was again, excellent! The hit of my last visit - pasta w cream sauce - was not available and the other pasta dishes paired in comparison. We did try the local fried cheese balls in Ragu and they were very tasty. It’s still a nice place, but I was a bit disappointed without that creamy past dish that brought me back. ——————— Original review June 2021 If you’re in Sulmona - you want to eat here!! A very pleasant atmosphere on a side street with a view of a 14th century church and filled with locals - locals so friendly, they insisted that we sample their wine! The waiter spoke fluent English and made fantastic recommendations for sampling a few dishes and sharing others, so as to not just run up our bill, but allow us to try the local specialties. The pasta with cream and sausage was the highlight dish! A wonderful meal and true taste of L’aquila region!

The service was great and very kind. The food could definitely better, especially considering the price point. Nothing memorable.

Great restaurant in Sulmona. Both food and service were very good. We ordered mostly whatever counts as local dishes. Cacio e Uva is a must, the chitara primi is delicious - ask for the spicy oil on the side and mix it into it for additional pleasure. They also had a delicious pasta with ragu and red wine which was very unique and delicious for me. They also have a wide and quality selection of wines. The place itself looka very welcoming.

Stefano was our incredible host! An amazing meal of local dishes served amid jazz music and local organic Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine💋Must. Enjoy. Heaven on earth. 🌟

All of the staff are very friendly and the Pizzeria has a welcoming atmosphere. The menu has a large choice and the prices are justified to the quality. We were never left waiting and never felt rushed, with plenty of time to eat with time to chat. I recommend a visit

Outstanding pizza place! Their baked-fried antipasto is so delicious and massive that could be a full meal on its own. Pizza with yellow tomato sauce, bufala and nduja is in my top 2 best ever!

It was good pizza, went a little early and it was pretty empty but we couldn't sit outside without a booking, even though it was pretty much empty the whole time we were there. Staff were friendly, the pizza was good, it did take forever to pay though!

One of the best pizzas ever! We tried 4 different pizzas, all of them were delicious and very special. Absolutely must have to try double (fried and baked)

Last night in Italy and we decided on pizza. Another restaurant suggested Bella Mbriana. My wife chose the Munaciello while I went with the Cornucopia. The pizza was delicious. If in Sulmona, give them a try.

The place was cozy, the staff friendly, and the food and drinks were delicious. We’ll definitely go back.

A visit to the beautiful city of Sulmona any time of year should include a stop at the best pizza restaurant, the one and only Bella ‘Mbriana! I’ve eaten there with family at different times of the year and it never disappoints. The pizza is completely local and always exceptional, and the staff friendly and helpful.

A beautiful place to dine if you're ever in Sulmona. The food was amazing and the staff are funny and friendly. So much so, we came back the next night again for dinner. I highly recommend the vegetarian platter with its array of tapas style dishes that were all delicious. The gnocchi is simple but full of flavour, crazy right? The ragu melted in your mouth and flavoursome. It gets pretty busy and books out quickly. We were smart enough to arrive just as dinner service started so we were lucky to get a table.

A lovely authentic family restaurant. Tasty pasta, the grilled lamb perfectly cooked, excellent wine choices. We loved this restaurant and we will come back. Make a booking, as they were turning customers away. Easy access from the main part of Sulmona town.

The food is great but the service is terrible. They base the service on the importance of clients rather than a first come, first serve operation. Waitresses are not observant to customers with tunnel vision. We waited 40 minutes to get our deserts repeatedly asking for the menu. I have been to better restaurants. Not recommended

A must-visit gem in Abruzzo! Clemente was one of our most memorable meals in Italy. Recommended by our B&B, this place absolutely delivered — from the generous hospitality to the amazing food. We started with the mixed appetizer platter, which was huge and filled with unique regional flavors — including perfectly prepared lamb offal that reinforced our belief that Abruzzo chefs are meat masters. Even the little amuse-bouche (a crispy fried dough with soft cheese) was delicious. The Tagliatelle verdi con ragù del cortile had a lovely, layered poultry ragu (chicken, duck, turkey, rabbit) with refreshing flavors, though the pasta was a bit soft for our taste. Still very good. The Farfalle alla Clemente — their signature dish — was the star. Don’t be fooled by the homey look: the sauce with prosciutto, spinach, and mushrooms was incredibly rich, savory, and balanced. No sheep cheese, so safe for picky eaters too! The grilled veal steak was perfectly done — medium rare, beautifully seared, tender and juicy with just the right amount of fat. Abruzzo knows how to handle its meats! To top it all off, they surprised us with complimentary dessert and sweet wine when they found out it was our birthday. One of the servers even shared that his birthday was the the next day — such a sweet moment! Excellent food, nice wines, great prices, and truly heartwarming service. Clemente has earned every Michelin mention and more.

Our B&B recommended this place and everything was wonderful. Highly recommend getting the Clementine (their signature pasta), simple yet so flavorful. The meats were cooked to perfection in the griliata mista. We did not enjoy Maccheroni alla chitarra con ricotta Cremona allo zafferano aquilano, guanciale croccante e pecorino - it was a bit too greasy for my liking. We also enjoyed a plate cicoria. Service was great also!

Very nice. Well priced. First course we took the abbruzo starter typical dishes for e18 which we managed to eat between two. 10 different dishes, then we had a pasta macaroni ordered as main course but we couldn't manage to eat not even half. All dishes were nice. The bread, ricotta, every delicious and fresh...the house win... all the Italian way.

Super food and the place. Eating there and trying local tastes is super. Very relaxing place.

This former abbacy was once the main convent of Celestinians - followers of st Pope Celestin V. Now we can see the result of reconstructions of XVIII century so it's not as old as I want))) Moreover after secularization the convent "works" as a prison and most part of its treasuries were taken to museums or thieved. So it's more like nut-shell than real nut but it's still impressive. You can visit three cloisters of five, the former church, refectorium and library Be careful: the convent is open for visitors with very strange timetable (see one of the photos)

Fantastic experience, knew nothing about it but saw it when we climbed up to the eremo. Wonderful abbey with such a rich and interesting history, deserves to be better publicized

If you are in a trip in this region of Italy, you should definitely give yourself a tour in this abbey!

Very nice abby to visit. Close by there are some trails, with one in particular that I recommend (Eremo Sant'Onofrio)

Really special place, just in the street to eremo Sant Onofrio. The Ticket Is 4 euro but has inside also monument from l'Aquila and they are amazing. Super raccomended

Now we know when it’s open.

(Translated by Google) “The archaeological park of the Sanctuary of Ercole Curino was established in the 70s of the last century in the municipal area of ​​Sulmona. Located on the slopes of Mount Morrone, in the Badia area, the terraced sanctuary is one of the most important sacred areas in the whole of Abruzzo. It is built on artificial terraces that define the sacred spaces sloping down the mountain slope: the first building phase is documented on the highest level, with a temple on a high podium. The subsequent expansion of the terrace saw the construction of the so-called chapel with the monumental steps interrupted by the paved square at the base of which the porticoes of the large space overlooking the Peligna basin opened. The general renovation of the plant dates back to the beginning of the 1st century. to. C., with a lower terrace, supported by an imposing wall in almost reticulated work on which a series of vaulted rooms are set below the square. The wealth and fame of the sanctuary were not lost with the abandonment of the place due to a landslide that buried the buildings. The spread of Christianity preserved the sacredness of the place, as evidenced by the construction, on the edge of the pagan sanctuary, of a small church subsequently enlarged by Pope Celestine V (13th century). The excavations, which began in 1957, initially led to the assumption of the presence of Ovid's villa, but then revealed the site of an Italic sanctuary, dedicated to Hercules as demonstrated by the type of votive material found and the dedication inscriptions. The upper part of the sanctuary was buried by an ancient landslide around the 2nd century AD; However, the use of the site did not stop completely, as evidenced by the addition of a church in the Christian era, close to the southern staircase.” (Original) “Il parco archeologico del Santuario di Ercole Curino è stato istituito negli anni ’70 del secolo scorso nel territorio comunale di Sulmona.

L’ampliamento successivo del terrazzo vide la costruzione del cosiddetto sacello con la gradinata monumentale interrotta dal piazzale lastricato alla cui base si aprivano i porticati dell’ampio spazio affacciato sulla conca peligna. La ristrutturazione generale dell’impianto si fa risalire all’inizio del I sec. a. C., con un terrazzo inferiore, sostruito da un imponente muro in opera quasi reticolata sul quale si impostano una serie di ambienti voltati sottostanti il piazzale. La ricchezza e la fama del santuario non si persero con l’abbandono dei luoghi dovuto ad una frana che seppellì gli edifici. Il diffondersi del Cristianesimo conservò la sacralità del luogo, come testimonia l’edificazione, ai margini del santuario pagano, di una chiesetta ampliata successivamente da papa Celestino V (XIII secolo). Gli scavi, iniziati nel 1957, avevano fatto inizialmente supporre la presenza della villa di Ovidio, ma rivelarono poi il sito di un santuario italico, dedicato a Ercole come dimostrano il tipo di materiale votivo rinvenuto e le iscrizioni di dedica. La parte superiore del santuario venne sepolta da una frana antica verso il II secolo d.C.; la frequentazione del sito però non si interruppe del tutto, come testimonia l'innesto di una chiesa in epoca cristiana, a ridosso della scalea meridionale.”

(Translated by Google) You park on the road, a short and easy dirt path in the woods downhill (bring suitable shoes) to get to the archaeological area with free entry. It extends over three levels. Overall quite well kept. Nice view. (Original) Si parcheggia i strada, breve e facile percorso sterrato nel bosco in discesa (portare scarpe adatte) per arrivare all'area archeologica ad ingresso gratuito. Si estende su tre livelli. Complessivamente abbastanza ben tenuto. Bel panorama.

(Translated by Google) Currently, to reach this open and free archaeological site, park at the second barrier along the access road. Park in a space in front of it and walk uphill for about 20 minutes to a serviced area. Behind the area (facing the road if you're coming up) is the site sign and the open gate. A 10-15 minute downhill path leads to the archaeological area. From the reconstruction and the explanations on the signs, it must have been an important site. A mosaic with remains of walls are housed in a structure visible from the outside through glass. It's a shame that the site isn't in perfect condition. The glass is very dirty, and the mosaic is covered in a carpet of earthworms, a sign that it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. The view is beautiful, and you can still appreciate the magnificence of the place. (Original) Al momento per arrivare a questo sito archeologico aperto e gratuito si parcheggia all'altezza della seconda sbarra che si trova lungo la strada di accesso. Qui si parcheggia in uno spazio antistante e si sale a piedi per circa 20 minuti fino ad un piazzale attrezzato. Alle spalle del piazzale (di fronte per chi sale dalla strada) trovasi la scritta del sito ed il cancello aperto. Percorrendo un sentiero in discesa per circa 10/15 minuti si raggiunge l'area archeologica. Dalla ricostruzione e dalle spiegazioni dei cartelli doveva trattarsi di un sito importante. Un mosaico con resti di mura dipende sono custodite in una struttura visibile dall'esterno attraverso dei vetri. Peccato che il sito non è in perfette condizioni manutentive. I vetri sono molto sporchi ed il mosaico è interessato da un tappeto di lombrichi sintomo che non viene ripulito da tempo. La visuale è bella e si riesce a cogliere comunque la magnificenza del luogo.

(Translated by Google) The sanctuary of Ercole Curino (at the foot of Mount Morrone, just outside Sulmona) is a very interesting archaeological site, from which you can enjoy a spectacular panorama. It's a shame that it isn't particularly well looked after: there are explanatory posters burnt by years of sun and rain, making them often illegible, and waste containers that are rarely emptied. It would perhaps be worth charging a small fee for entry and having greater protection. At the moment access is free, to the point that there is no type of control. (Original) Il santuario di Ercole Curino (ai piedi del monte Morrone, alle porte di Sulmona) è un sito archeologico molto interessante, da cui si gode un panorama spettacolare. Peccato che non sia particolarmente curato: vi sono cartelloni esplicativi bruciati da anni di sole e piogge, per cui spesso illeggibili, e contenitori per i rifiuti svuotati di rado. Varrebbe forse la pena far pagare un piccolo contributo per l’ingresso e averne maggior tutela. Al momento l’accesso è libero, al punto che non vi è nessun tipo di controllo.

(Translated by Google) There is very little left but it is beautiful to see. (Original) E' rimasto ben poco ma bello da vedere.

(Translated by Google) Interesting archaeological site even if small in size. You can get there on foot without much effort but you need good trekking shoes. I attach some information: The sanctuary of Ercole Curino is a state archaeological site managed by the General Directorate for archaeological heritage which is located in Sulmona in the Badia area, on the Morrone mountains between the abbey of Santo Spirito dei Celestini and the hermitage of Celestino V. Important archaeological finds were found on site, in particular a small bronze made with great skill, depicting Hercules, is preserved in the archaeological museum of Chieti. (Original) Interessante sito archeologico anche se di piccola dimensione. Si arriva a piedi senza grossa fatica ma servono scarpe buone da treking. Allego qualche informazione: Il santuario di Ercole Curino è un sito archeologico statale gestito dalla Direzione generale per i beni archeologici che si trova a Sulmona in località Badia, sulle montagne del Morrone tra l'abbazia di Santo Spirito dei Celestini e l'eremo di Celestino V. Importanti reperti archeologici sono stati trovati in loco, in particolare un piccolo bronzetto realizzato con grande maestria, raffigurante appunto Ercole è conservato al museo archeologico di Chieti.

(Translated by Google) An archaeological site located in a stunning natural setting, easily accessible on foot. The sanctuary, explained by clear and comprehensive signs, should be cleaned up.

Il santuario , spiegato da pannelli chiari ed esaustivi, dovrebbe essere ripulito.

Lovely view and great Temple's ruins

Without words

(Translated by Google) A jewel, a place where Celestine V left part of himself. A small hermitage where you have to walk along the mountain to get to. Let's say a moment of faith. Inside there are various frescoes. No famous artists but very beautiful. A unique view. There are caves where these hermits lived. (Original) Un gioiello un posto dove Celestino V ha lasciato parte di se. Un piccolo eremo dove per arrivare devi costeggiare la montagna. Diciamo un momento di fede. Al suo interno vari affreschi. Nessun artista famoso ma molto belli. Un panorama unico. Ci sono delle grotte dove vivevano questi eremiti.

(Translated by Google) Celestine hermitage, meticulously maintained by volunteers who ensure its opening. From the square below, equipped with benches, shelters, and tables, it's a twenty-minute climb up stairs and ramps, but it's well worth it. On the way up, you can enjoy the panoramic views of the abbey below, the World War II detention camp known as 78, and the archaeological site. Accessible from the square described above, via a short 10-15 minute walk, the hermitage is spread across several levels, from the cave below to the small church with adjoining rooms where Celestine, before he became Pope, meditated and lived. The upper floor contains a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a dining room, which served as a resting place and refreshment for the clergy who occasionally ascended to the hermitage. From the upper floor, there is access to a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the entire valley. Currently, before reaching the square, by municipal decree, you must park your car below the height of a barrier. From the barrier to the parking lot, it's another 20 minutes on a paved road, sometimes shaded by trees. I can assure you that the effort of climbing will be well worth it. Take your time, enjoy the view during the climb, and you'll be rewarded once you reach the top. (Original) Eremo celestiniano tenuto benissimo da volontari che ne garantiscono l'apertura. Dal piazzale sottostante attrezzato con panche,tettoie e tavoli, c'è da salire per una ventina di minuti tra scale e rampe, ma ne vale veramente la pena. Verso l'ascesa si può godere del panorama sottostante con visuali sulla sottostante abbazia, il campo di detenzione della 2 guerra mondiale, denominato 78 e del sito archeologico, con accesso dal piazzale descritto in precedenza, attraverso un breve percorso di 10/15 minuti. L'eremo si sviluppa su più livelli, dalla grotta sottostante alla chiesetta com annessi ambienti dove Celestino, non ancora papa meditava e viveva. Al piano superiore è presente una cucina, due camere da letto, una sala da pranzo, quale punto di appoggio e ristoro al clero che di tanto in tanto sale fino all'eremo. Dal piano superiore si accede ad un belvedere che domina tutta la vallata. Attualmente prima di arrivare al piazzale bisogna lasciare la macchina più giù altezza di u a sbarra per ordinanza del comune. Dalla sbarra al piazzale saranno altri 20 minuti di strada asfaltata a tratti all'ombra degli alberi. Vi posso garantire che lo sforzo per salire verrà ampiamente ripagato. Prendetevi il tempo necessario, godetevi il panorama durante la salita e verrete ripagati una volta su in cima.

(Translated by Google) Located in nearby Sulmona, this site can be visited at set times because it's managed by local volunteers. Parking is available in the valley, and reaching the hermitage takes about 20 minutes uphill on a paved road and another 20 minutes on a dirt road, also uphill. The journey is worth it, however, as it's truly rich in history and boasts spectacular views. It's best not to go on sunny summer days because there's no shade, and especially no water. Furthermore, sneakers or hiking shoes are a must for a route like this. (Original) Situato nella vicina Sulmona questo luogo è visitabile in orari prestabiliti perché gestito da volontari del luogo. Si parcheggia a valle e per attivare all'eremo ci vogliono circa 20 minuti in salita su strada asfaltata e circa 20 su sterrato sempre in salita. Il viaggio però vale la pena farlo perché veramente ricco di storia in un luogo con una vista spettacolare . Meglio non andarci in giornate estive assolate perché non vi sono posti all'ombra e soprattutto acqua . Inoltre le scarpe da ginnastica o trekking sono obbligatorie per un percorso come quello.

(Translated by Google) The arrival was truly beautiful and emotional! There's a paved path from the parking lot to the kiosks that's easily accessible. After that, the path to the hermitage becomes a bit more difficult, being carved into the rock and not always fenced. The only drawback is that there's neither a cafe nor a drinking fountain from the parking lot to the hermitage. (Original) Molto bello ed emozionante all arrivo! C'è un percorso da fare dal parcheggio fino ai chioschi che è asfaltato e facilmente raggiungibile, dopodiché per arrivare all'eremo la strada diventa un po' più difficile essendo scavata nella roccia e non sempre ha la staccionata. Unica pecca è che non ci sia né un bar né una fontanella dal parcheggio all'eremo.

Takes you back in time

(Translated by Google) The entrance is at the back of the main road (if you turn around you will find it).. and it is always open as it is a military barracks abandoned for some time, where neglect reigns and vegetation has taken over, however very fascinating which is why I give it 4 stars.. if those walls could speak who knows how many pains and stories they would tell, human lives locked up in those dormitories in the early 1900s... of different nationalities, different languages, different flattened cultures from a single word "captivity". If it were in Germany it would have already become a famous world-famous memorial museum.. but unfortunately it is in Italy.. and it is just a barracks abandoned to itself. If you are passing through I recommend a visit. (Original) L'ingresso é sul retro della strada principe (girandoci intorno si tova).. ed é sempre aperto inquanto é una caserma militare abbandonata da tempo, dove regna l'incuria e la vegetazione che ha preso il sopravvento, tuttavia molto affascinante perquesto do 4 stelle.. se quelle mura potessero parlare chissà quanti dolori e quante storie racconterebbero, vite umane rinchiuse in quelle camerate nei primi del '900.. di nazionalità diverse, lingue diverse, culture diverse appiattite da una sola parola "prigionia". Fosse in Germania sarebbe già diventato un famoso museo alla memoria di fama mondiale.. ma per sfortuna é in Italia.. ed é solo una caserma abbandonata a se stessa. Se di passaggio ne consiglio la visita.

(Translated by Google) One star and I'll explain why. Contrary to other reviews which say that you can enter by walking around the structure, today this is not possible. The gate is bolted, without any timetable or contact information, the perimeter wall has been refurbished and not even a crack to take a photo (except for a side gate which allows a photo). When I went to the tourist office in Sulmona they told me that: send an email to the councilor for culture of the municipality who will contact whoever manages the structure who will come and open it if he has time. But also contact us in front of the door, right? However, seen from above and from this rear gate, everything still seems quite well kept. It's a shame all these difficulties to show us a piece of history, even if it's ugly. (Original) Una stella e spiego il perché. Contrariamente alle altre recensioni in cui si dice che, girando attorno alla struttura si riesce ad entrare, oggi ciò non è possibile. Cancello sprangato, senza nessuna scritta di orari o contatti, muro perimetrale rimesso a nuovo e neanche una fessura per poter fare una foto (tranne da un cancello laterale che permette una foto). Recatomi all’ufficio turistico di Sulmona mi hanno detto che: mandare una mail all’assessore alla cultura del comune che contatta chi gestisce la struttura che se ha tempo viene ad aprire. Ma metterci un contatto anche davanti al portone, no eh? Comunque, visto dall’alto e da questo cancello posteriore, sembra tutto ancora abbastanza ben tenuto. Peccato tutte queste difficoltà per farci vedere un pezzo di storia anche se brutta.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, it was not possible to visit it as it was closed. From the outside, it also appears to be in a significant state of neglect. These are historical memories that should not be lost, but preserved to educate young people about our country's recent history. I should also point out that the concentration camp is located near the Abbey of Santo Spirito al Morrone. I gave it 1 star because I couldn't give it less. (Original) Purtroppo non è stato possibile visitarlo in quanto era chiuso. Da una visione esterna sembra anche in notevole stato di abbandono. Sono memorie storiche che non dovrebbero andare perse, ma preservarte per fare conoscere ai giovani la storia recente del nostro Paese. Segnalo inoltre che il Campo di concentramento è situato vicino all'Abbazia di Santo Spirito al Morrone. Ho dato 1 stella perché non potevo dare di meno.

(Translated by Google) Exciting place but I can't find an entrance. There is a large gate but small windows and watchtower. Otherwise hard to see anything (Original) Spännade ställe men jag hittar ingen ingång. Finns en stor grind men små fönster och vakttorn. Annars svårt att se något

(Translated by Google) We couldn't figure out where it was. They should put up signs. We arrived in front of a prison police school. I think it's there because we read the license plates. (Original) Non siamo riusciti a capire dove fosse Dovrebbero mettere le indicazioni siamo arrivati davanti ad una scuola per la polizia penitenziaria penso sia lì perché abbiamo letto le targhe

Very nice statue and courtyard. Very glad this is preserved in older form

A beautiful statue.

(Translated by Google) Here I live in Sulmona, the third district of the Peligni. The district, rich in water, though small, is healthy. Let the sun's rays heat the earth to the point of cracks, Let the evil star of the Icarian dog shine, - Streams of running water irrigate the fields of the Peligni; The rich soil is loose, the grasses are lush in the meadows. Here are abundant grains, grapes even more abundant, And in some plots there are even the fruits of Pallas. Here the grass is green, everywhere where streams flow, The grassy cover has clothed the damp earth with shadow. Only my fire is missing... No, I was wrong in my expression: Only the cause of the fire is missing, but the flame itself is with me. If I were settled between Castor and Pollux, And in heaven without you I would not want to live! Let the earth be heavy, let eternal sleep be restless For those who have furrowed the whole world with many long roads! At least they would have ordered the maidens to follow the young men, If they were to furrow the world with many long roads... But I, when I had to freeze in the windy Alps, I would consider my path easy, if I were alone with my mistress. With my dear one I would decide to swim across the Libyan Sirtes And let the fickle Notes carry my sail. No, neither sea monsters, barking under a maiden's bosom, I would not be afraid, nor you, the crooked rock of Malea Not even Charybdis herself, who, having had her fill of sinking ships, Spewing out water, again sucks in her empty mouth, But if the force of the winds overcomes Neptune himself And the waters carry away the gods who are kind to me, Put your snow-white hands on my shoulders, - I will swim without effort with my light burden. Young lover Hero often swam to her by sea... He could have swum across that time too... only the night was dark. But without you... Let the lands abundant with grapes Here surround me, the streams water the field, The farmer drives obedient waters to himself in the ditches, Let the fresh breeze caress the hair of the trees, - I still do not want to glorify the healing land of the Peligni, Villages - the heritage of the fathers, - the place where I was born. I will glorify the Scythians sooner, the Cilician savages, the Britons, The rocks that turned red, having absorbed the blood of Prometheus... The elm will love the vine - and the vine will not leave the elm... But why do I languish from the mistress in the distance? Remember, did you not swear to be my constant companion, Swear by me and your eyes, the stars of my life? I see, the maiden's words are like falling leaves, - The evil wind carries them, rushes, running away, like a wave... No, if you have preserved even a share of care for me, Then it is time to add deeds to your promises, The chariot is waiting, hurry! The hot pacers are tearing. Tighten the reins yourself between the unfurled manes! But you, haughty mountains, humble yourself in her path, - In your crooked valleys, may her path be easy! (Original) Вот я в Сульмоне живу, третьем округе края пелигнов. Округ, богатый водой, хоть невелик, но здоров. Пусть себе солнца лучи накаляют землю до трещин, Пусть Икарийского пса злобная блещет звезда, - Вод проточных струи орошают пашни пелигнов; Тучная почва рыхла, буйные травы в лугах. Здесь изобильны хлеба, виноград еще изобильней, А на участках иных есть и Паллады плоды. Здесь зелена мурава, везде, где ручьи протекают, Тенью покров травяной влажную землю одел. Нет лишь огня моего... Нет, я в выраженье ошибся: Нет лишь причины огня, самое ж пламя при мне. Если бы я поселен меж Кастором был и Поллуксом, И в небесах без тебя не захотел бы я жить! Будь же земля тяжела, будь вечный сон беспокоен Для взбороздивших весь мир множеством длинных дорог! За молодыми людьми хоть велели бы следовать девам, Если уж мир бороздить множеством длинных дорог... Я же, когда бы пришлось мне мерзнуть и в ветреных Альпах, Путь свой легким бы счел, будь я вдвоем с госпожой. С милой вдвоем переплыть я решился б ливийские Сирты И переменчивым дать Нотам мой парус нести. Нет, ни чудовищ морских, под девичьим лающих лоном, Не устрашился б, ни вас, скалы Малеи кривой Даже Харибды самой, что, насытясь судов потопленьем, Воду, извергнув, опять пастью вбирает пустой, Если же сила ветров самого одолеет Нептуна И благосклонных ко мне воды богов унесут, На плечи мне положи свои белоснежные руки, - Я без труда поплыву с легкою ношей своей. Юный любовник Геро доплывал к ней по морю часто... Мог и в тот раз переплыть... только темна была ночь. Но без тебя... Пускай виноградом обильные земли Здесь окружают меня, поле потоки поят, Гонит в канавы к себе земледелец послушные воды, Свежий пускай ветерок волосы нежит дерев,- Славить я все ж не хочу целебного края пелигнов, Сел - достоянья отцов, - места, где я родился. Скифов прославлю скорей, дикарей киликийских, британов, Скалы, что стали красны, кровь Прометея впитав... Вяз полюбит лозу - и лоза не отстанет от вяза... Я же томлюсь почему от госпожи вдалеке? Вспомни, не ты ли клялась мне спутницей быть неизменной, Мной и глазами клялась, звездами жизни моей? Вижу, девичьи слова облетающим листьям подобны, - Ветер их злобный несет, мчит, убегая, волна... Нет, если ты обо мне сохранила хоть долю заботы, Так к обещаньям твоим дело добавить пора, Ждет колесница, спеши! Горячие рвут иноходцы. Между развившихся грив вожжи сама натяни! Вы же у ней на пути принизьтесь, надменные горы, - В ваших долинах кривых легок да будет ей путь!

(Translated by Google) The statue of Ovid in Sulmona majestically embodies the spirit and genius of the famous Latin poet. Placed in an evocative and historical context, this sculpture arouses admiration and respect for its subject, conveying a strong sense of connection with the past and with the cultural heritage of which Ovid is an icon. The artistry with which it was created reflects the importance and lasting influence of his literary work, making this statue not only a visual tribute to his greatness, but also a reminder of the continuing inspiration that his words offer to the modern world. (Original) La statua di Ovidio a Sulmona incarna maestosamente lo spirito e il genio del celebre poeta latino. Posta in un contesto suggestivo e storico, questa scultura suscita ammirazione e rispetto per il suo soggetto, trasmettendo un forte senso di connessione con il passato e con l'eredità culturale di cui Ovidio è un'icona. La maestria artistica con cui è stata realizzata riflette l'importanza e l'influenza duratura della sua opera letteraria, rendendo questa statua non solo un tributo visivo alla sua grandezza, ma anche un richiamo alla continua ispirazione che le sue parole offrono al mondo moderno.

(Translated by Google) In the evocative setting of Piazza XX Settembre in Sulmona, the statue of Ovid is not just a monument, but a true dialogue with history. His figure, sculpted in bronze, celebrates not simply a poet, but the soul of a city that for centuries has proudly borne the name of its most illustrious son. Ovid, with his thoughtful gaze ideally turned toward Rome, the city that exiled him and to which he never stopped writing, seems to tell a story of love and pain, of success and exile. The statue, the work of sculptor Ettore Ferrari, is a constant reminder of the power of culture and words, capable of overcoming the injustices of time and space. Seeing it there, amid the pulsating life of the square, amid the bustle of passersby and the sound of conversation, makes one reflect on how art and poetry still remain a common thread linking the past to the present. It is an invitation to rediscover his works, to understand his spirit, and to feel the profound connection between the great poet and his hometown. (Original) Nella suggestiva cornice di Piazza XX Settembre a Sulmona, la statua di Ovidio non è solo un monumento, ma un vero e proprio dialogo con la storia. La sua figura, scolpita nel bronzo, non celebra semplicemente un poeta, ma l'anima di una città che da secoli porta con orgoglio il nome del suo figlio più illustre. Ovidio, con lo sguardo pensoso e rivolto idealmente verso Roma, la città che lo esiliò e a cui non smise mai di scrivere, sembra raccontare una storia di amore e dolore, di successo e di esilio. La statua, opera dello scultore Ettore Ferrari, è un promemoria costante della forza della cultura e della parola, capaci di superare le ingiustizie del tempo e dello spazio. Vederla lì, in mezzo alla vita pulsante della piazza, tra il viavai dei passanti e il suono delle conversazioni, fa riflettere su come l'arte e la poesia siano ancora oggi un filo conduttore che unisce il passato al presente. È un invito a riscoprire le sue opere, a capire il suo spirito, e a sentire la profonda connessione tra il grande poeta e la sua città natale.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful statue dedicated to the most illustrious citizen of the city (Original) Bellissima statua dedicata al cittadino più illustre della Città

Outstanding location, amenities, value and service. Our family has stayed at Sei Stella on multiple occasions and the experience has been beyond the highest expectations. The host David is superb.

Just the best accommodation we have experienced in Europe for years! Davide was an excellent host, breakfast was superb with a great choice, the room was beautiful, and the whole house was in top condition and a very relaxing place to be. Location right on the main piazza in Sulmona was the best, and parking availability just 200 metres away underground was perfect. We stayed for just 2 nights in early October, before flying home from Rome, would have liked to stay longer! We hope to be able to stay there again, and can recommend to anyone. We have no connection with B&B Sei Stelle except as happy customers.

Wonderful 3 day stay in Sulmona. Host David truly goes the extra kilometer! Comfortable rooms and breakfast with eggs of your choice. Central location. Highly recommended.

This was our favorite accommodation on our honeymoon. Davide the manager was an amazing host. The rooms were lovely and the communal area overlooking the square is so beautiful, as is Sulmona. There's also cheap parking nearby. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff were really friendly and chatty.

A wonderful B & B, nice large room, yummy breakfast on the terrace. Delightful staff.

Perfect location in the heart of Sulmona. Comfortable room in a beautiful historic building. Hot breakfast with coffee made to order every morning. Davide was a great host. He gave each guest personal attention, made reservations at the best restaurants in town and offered suggestions for exploring the area. We highly recommend B&B Sei Stelle

There are so many aspects that made this stay one of our most enjoyable during our tour of Italy! Firstly, the picturesque village of Sulmona gave us a lovely feel of authentic italy. Then staying at the Sei Stelle rounded it off! Our host, Davide, was incredible. Great contact before we arrived, directed me to the car park in person, gave us some great recommendations for food - all before we checked in! On checking in, the room was amazing! The living areas was huge. Lovely comfortable couches, a nice terrace to overlook the main square. The bedroom was similarly big with a lovely comfortable bed. The bathroom, again, lovely with a nice shower in it. Breakfast was just amazing, overlooking the main square from the terrace, with our pre-ordered choices of croissants, pastries, juices, served with some typically wonderful Italian coffee. We cannot recommend this place enough, and the host, Davide. We really hope to be fortunate enough to go back again one day. Book the Sei Stelle, you will not regret it.

It looks like an accent over the e in Rome

Natura "untouched" solo fauna e flora

Great location, great staff, excellent holiday.

Very beautiful! 😍

Beautiful place!

Monte amaro !

Very beautiful Place!

Really nice restaurant on one of the main squares. They accommodated us even tho they were almost closing, so we really appreciated it. The dishes were tasty and served in good portions, we also loved the medieval decorations. The only thing I would say is that I was expecting to find more traditional dishes on the menu, while I had the impression that they had the classic traditional dishes that you can find all around Italy.

The Angello was excellent and the antipasto was good but the vegetables were a little over cooked but delicious. I was the only customer at 19:45. Because it was so quiet, I could hear the music playing in kitchen... an Irish concert. Great singing. They let me sit there drinking water to listen to the music..my wife, who died 2 years ago, loved her Irish music.

Great food, great vibes, great location!

Very good location, right to the main square. The food was average but the waiter was very nice and careful

Food quite bad, one of the waiter wasn’t even willing to put the plates on the table for the costumers,l. when politely we let the waitress know of the flavorless of our meal she accused us that it’s our fault that we eat too salty and nobody else complained. A “we are sorry” would Have been a better reply. Just stay away

It’s hard to get a bad meal in Italy… unless you eat at a bar. And Locanda Medievale is A BAR. We were here and nothing else was open/avail on a Sunday evening, so we made do. Plan better - make an rsvp elsewhere. Otherwise the wine, location and hospitality were great, but the food was below average. Bread was not good, I had the white pork and it was tough and dry. The house wine was good and a bargain. The tiramisu was good.

Bad food and service. One waitress needs training in how to serve customers. The only positive thing was the decor

Wonderful find from the stop at Sulmona. Truly traditional Italian experience. The pasta was delicious and fresh, so were the tomatoes and red garlic. You can see the kitchen works on demand and everything is cooked fresh. Overall great lunch and even greater food!

Eat bite was mouthwatering. The flavors and uniqueness of the artisan experience priceless. I travel the world and was completely satisfied with my experience.

We had a wonderful lunch today. The service was fantastic and the set lunch had a ton of dishes. All of the food was delicious and the main course we chose was gnocchi—they were tasty, light pillows in a lovely red sauce. We will be back!

Beautiful homely place, with home cooked freshly made food. Lady serving us was very friendly and explained the menu to us in English as we don't talk in Italian. Food was delicious!!! Would definitely come back!

Delicious food, great ambience, friendly chef and waiter. Highly recommended. We will definitely come back again soonest.

Wonderful food and warm service at very reasonable prices. The pappardelle with wild boar and roast rabbit were delicious. Highly recommended for when you're in Sulmona.

Great food. Abundant portions and very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend if you’re in Sulmona.

They have a set lunch menu for a good price, which we had. Food is not gourmet, but it is a good solid affordable lunch and everyone there is very friendly and the friendly waiter speaks English if you need it. Good place for a quick stop for real food.

Thanks for the wonderful party. You guys are great, till next time🙋🏻‍♂️

Does not get any better! Authentic. Attentive Service. Fair price. Bravo!!

There are better places

(Translated by Google) We booked here (if you want to go I always recommend booking in advance) for a quick lunch. We had an appetizer and I liked the fact that it was varied and also included vegetables. Then a mixed grill, very good. (Original) Abbiamo prenotato qui (se volete andare vi consiglio sempre di prenotare prima) per un pranzo veloce. Abbiamo preso un antipasto e mi è piaciuto il fatto che fosse vario e comprendesse anche le verdure. Poi una grigliata mista, molto buona.

(Translated by Google) I had the pleasure of having dinner at the Villa Elena pizzeria restaurant and I must say that it was an extraordinary experience! The pizza is without a doubt the best I have ever tasted. The pasta was light and crispy, with fresh, flavorful ingredients that combined perfectly. But it's not just the food that makes Villa Elena special. The location is simply enchanting: a welcoming and well-furnished environment, surrounded by a warm and familiar atmosphere. The attention to detail is evident and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, making the service impeccable. I highly recommend visiting Villa Elena if you are looking for an evening of good food and a dream location. I will definitely be back to enjoy that amazing pizza again! (Original) Ho avuto il piacere di cenare presso il ristorante pizzeria Villa Elena e devo dire che è stata un'esperienza straordinaria! La pizza è senza dubbio la migliore che abbia mai assaggiato. La pasta era leggera e croccante, con ingredienti freschi e saporiti che si combinavano perfettamente. Ma non è solo il cibo a rendere Villa Elena speciale. La location è semplicemente incantevole: un ambiente accogliente e ben arredato, circondato da un'atmosfera calda e familiare. L'attenzione ai dettagli è evidente e il personale è estremamente cordiale e disponibile, rendendo il servizio impeccabile. Consiglio vivamente di visitare Villa Elena se siete in cerca di una serata all'insegna del buon cibo e di una location da sogno. Tornerò sicuramente per gustare di nuovo quella pizza eccezionale!

The most interesting thing of this museum is facade - mix of several styles (Gothic, Renaissance, Mannerism). The museum consists of some sections, for me the most interesting one was that of medieval art. In my time (November 2024) the ticket was 5 euro (only Museo civico) or 8 euro (combined with Diocesan museum)

Interesting little museum

(Translated by Google) The museum is larger than it seems, and is divided into various sections: a prehistoric and pre-Roman area, a Roman area, the remains of a splendid Roman villa discovered under one of the rooms, which can now be visited via an elevated walkway . A section shows traditional Abruzzo clothes from the areas around Sulmona together with some work tools. The medieval and modern art section on the upper floor includes altarpieces, canvases and panels taken from nearby religious centers. A thorough visit takes about 2 hours, even a little more. (Original) Il museo è più grande di quanto non sembri, ed è diviso in varie sezioni: un'area preistorica e pre romana, un'area romana, i resti di una splendida villa romana scoperta sotto a una delle sale, oggi visitabile tramite un camminamento sopraelevato. Una sezione mostra i vestiti tradizionali abruzzesi delle zone intorno a Sulmona insieme a qualche attrezzo da lavoro. La sezione di arte medievale e moderna al piano superiore comprende pale d'altare, tele e tavole prese dai vicini centri religiosi. Una visita accurata richiede circa 2 ore, anche un po' di più.

(Translated by Google) Sulmona Civic Museum, beautiful building from the outside. The entrance is not very clear, the cost of the visit is €4.5, they gave us the option of purchasing the €7 combined ticket to also have access to the art gallery in Piazza Garibaldi (much better than this museum). I recommend going there only, the counter doesn't accept debit cards, only cash, they made us pay €7 over the phone (slow procedure) but €6 was written on the ticket. The only interesting room is that of the Middle Ages and costumes, there is no heating and it is very cold inside (if you go in winter), so I suggest a visit in the warmer months, overall it didn't excite me, there are more interesting archaeological museums in both Abruzzo and Molise. Quick visit, not a long route. (Original) Museo civico di Sulmona, bel palazzo da fuori. L'ingresso non è ben chiaro, il costo della visita è di 4.5€, ci hanno dato l'opzione di acuqistare il biglietto comulativo di 7€ per aver accesso anche alla Pinacoteca nella piazza Garibaldi (molto meglio di questo museo). Consiglio di andare solo li, lo sportello non accetta il bancomat solo contanti, ci hanno fatto pagare tramite il telefono (procedura lenta) 7€ ma sul biglietto c'era scritto 6€. L'unica sala interessante è quella del medioevo e dei costumi, non c'è il riscaldamento è freddissimo dentro, (se andate d'inverno), quindi suggerisco una visita nei mesi più caldi, nel complesso non mi ha entusiasmato, ci sono sia in Abruzzo che in Molise musei archeologici più interessanti. Visita veloce percorso non lungo.

(Translated by Google) The Civic Museum of Sulmona is the largest artistic and archaeological museum in the Peligna Valley, located in the Santissima Annunziata complex. It houses numerous rooms in which you can admire the remains of a rich Roman Domus, precious archaeological finds, finds from the Paleolithic era, Renaissance statues and sculptures. And the wonderful display of traditional Abruzzo and Molise costumes from the 1800s and 1900s, where I had fun posing like one of them! In short, a real pearl that I invite you to go and visit even with children. Thanks again to the exquisite availability and courtesy of Andrea, a very good Cicerone who enlivened my visit with preparation and kindness. Thanks Andrea! (Original) Il Museo Civico di Sulmona è il più grande museo artistico ed archeologico della Valle Peligna, situato nel complesso della Santissima Annunziata . Esso ospita numerose sale in cui si possono ammirare i resti di una ricca Domus Romana , preziosissimi reperti archeologici , reperti dell'era del Paleolitico , statue e sculture rinascimentali. E la meravigliosa esposizione di costumi tradizionali abruzzesi e molisani del 1800 e del 1900 , dove mi sono divertita a posare come una di loro! Insomma ,una vera perla che invito ad andare a visitare anche con i bambini. Ancora grazie alla squisita disponibilità e cortesia di Andrea , bravissimo Cicerone che ha allietato la mia visita con preparazione e simpatia . Grazie Andrea !

(Translated by Google) I visited the museum with my daughter on Sunday. There were no lines, and the ticket cost €4.50. The museum, currently undergoing renovations, so some display cases were empty, is composed of several exhibition areas: the prehistoric section, the Roman section, which is flanked by an exhibition area on transhumance, and the medieval section. It's also possible to visit the remains of the Roman villa found directly beneath the museum complex. Along the tour, in addition to descriptive panels describing the artifacts and characteristics of the historical period covered, you'll also find QR codes you can scan for an audio explanation of the exhibition area. This is very useful if you have children and want to keep their attention. The museum is interesting, although it could be improved. The exhibits are numerous, and the ticket price is reasonable. It's worth a visit! (Original) Ho visitato il museo insieme alla mia bambina di domenica. Non c'erano code e il costo del biglietto è di €4,50. Il museo, attualmente in fase di riallestimento e pertanto alcune teche erano vuote, si compone di diverse aree espositive: l'area preistorica, l'area romana, a cui si affianca un'area espositiva sulla transumanza e l'area medioevale. È inoltre possibile visitare i resti della villa romana trovata proprio sotto il complesso museale. Lungo il percorso di visita è possibile trovare oltre ai pannelli descrittivi dei reperti e delle caratteristiche dell'epoca storica trattata, anche dei QRcode da scansionare per avere un supporto audio esplicativo dell'area espositiva. Molto utile se si hanno bimbi al seguito e si vuole mantenere alta la loro attenzione. Il museo è interessante, sebbene migliorabile, i reperti esposti sono molti e il costo del biglietto esiguo. Vale la pena visitarlo!

(Translated by Google) I passed through Sulmona and took the opportunity to visit the museum. Since it was the first Sunday of the month, I asked if it was free, and the lady replied, "No, it's municipal." However, if it's a national museum, I don't understand the point of charging for admission. Overall, the visit was pleasant, even though there was an event going on. It has many interesting artifacts, both Roman and Italic. Unfortunately, it's not very well-maintained; it's dusty, and there's no one to supervise the people who wander around the building. Arianna's villa is very beautiful, and there was a painting exhibition there, which honestly ruined the atmosphere of the domus. I hope they pay more attention to cleanliness and the staff in the rooms. The ticket lady was very kind and available to answer any questions. (Original) Sono passata per Sulmona e ho approfittato di visitare il museo,siccome era la prima domenica del mese ho domandato se fosse gratuito e la signora mi ha risposto no perché è comunale,ma se è una cosa nazionale non capisco il senso di farlo pagare...tutto sommato la visita è stata gradevole anche se c'era un allestimento di un evento,ha molti reperti interessanti sia romane che italiche, purtroppo è tenuto non troppo bene, c'è polvere e non c'è nessuno che possa controllare le persone che girano per lo stabile!la villa di Arianna è molto bella e c'era una mostra di quadri che sinceramente rovinavamo l'atmosfera della domus!spero ci sia più attenzione sulla pulizia e sul personale presente nelle stanze!la signora dei biglietti molto gentile e disponibile per qualsiasi domanda!

(Translated by Google) The fountain of the Old Man certainly owes its name to a bearded face that portrays an old man, and from which very fresh drinking water flows. After all, it is at the top of the medieval aqueduct. It is a beautiful fountain, which should be cleaned and enhanced. (Original) La fontana del Vecchio deve il suo nome sicuramente ad una faccia barbuta che ritrae un vecchio, e dalla quale fuoriesce della freschissima acqua potabile. D'altronde é alla sommità dell'Acquedotto medioevale. Si tratta di una bella fontana, che andrebbe ripulita e valorizzata.

(Translated by Google) Set like a gem in the stone of the medieval aqueduct, at the point where Corso Ovidio flows into Piazza Garibaldi, this beautiful fountain is an important testimony to the Sulmona Renaissance. It was built in 1474 by Captain Polidoro Tiberti from Cesena. The upper part is the original one, the underlying basin dates back to 1901. (Original) Incastonata come una gemma nella pietra dell'acquedotto medioevale, nel punto in cui corso Ovidio sfocia in piazza Garibaldi, questa bella fontana è una importante testimonianza del rinascimento sulmonese. Fu costruita nel 1474 dal capitano Polidoro Tiberti da Cesena. La parte superiore è quella originaria, la sottostante vasca è invece del 1901.

(Translated by Google) The terminal of the ancient aqueduct. We get practically frozen water even in the height of summer. It makes you want to stick your hands under the stream and cool off. A beautiful historical artefact that generates curiosity and attention in tourists. (Original) Il terminale dell'antico acquedotto. Ci arriva un'acqua praticamente ghiacciata anche in piena estate. Viene voglia di infilare le mani sotto il rivolo e rinfrescarsi. Un bellissimo manufatto storico che genera curiosità e attenzione nel turista.

(Translated by Google) The Fountain of the Elder of Sulmona was built in 1474 and is the final part of the ancient aqueduct. Of the fifteenth-century structure, only the upper part rich in moldings and the semicircular pediment surmounted by a bearded head under which the word "Vechio" can be read, hence the name of the fountain. The water that flows from this fountain is drinkable and always very fresh and is ideal for quenching the thirst of the local inhabitants and the many visitors to the city. (Original) La fontana del Vecchio di Sulmona fu costruita nel 1474 ed è la parte finale dell'antico acqedotto. Della struttura quattrocentesca rimane solo la parte superiore ricca di modanature e il frontone semicircolare sormontato da una testa barbuta sotto la quale si legge la parola "Vechio", da qui il nome della fontana. L'acqua che sgorga da questa fontana è potabile e sempre freschissima ed é ideale per dissetare gli abitanti locali ed i tanti visitatori della città.

(Translated by Google) Valuable example of -mural fountain- near Piazza GARIBALDI, in the center of SULMONA. The upper sculptural motif in -Renaissance- style... of exquisite workmanship, happily matches the underlying -basin- of the contemporary era, in a simply...stupendous whole!!! (Original) Pregevole esempio di -fontana murale- nei pressi della Piazza GARIBALDI, nel centro di SULMONA. Il motivo scultoreo superiore in stile -rinascimentale-...di pregevole fattura, si abbina felicemente alla sottostante -vasca- di epoca contemporanea, in un insieme semplicemente...stupendo!!!

(Translated by Google) It is a small fountain from which fresh and pleasant drinking water flows. It is close to Piazza Garibaldi and the medieval aqueduct. An unmissable stop in the hot and sunny summers of Sulmona. (Original) È una piccola fontana da cui sgorga un'acqua potabile fresca e piacevole. È vicina a piazza Garibaldi e all'acquedotto medievale. Una tappa imperdibile nelle calde e assolate estati di Sulmona.

(Translated by Google) The Fontana del Vecchio was built in 1474 by Captain Polidoro Tiberti from Cesena, and is one of the most important testimonies of the Renaissance period in Sulmona. (Original) La Fontana del Vecchio venne fatta costruire nel 1474 dal capitano Polidoro Tiberti da Cesena, ed è una delle più importanti testimonianze del periodo rinascimentale sulmonese.

Well worth the visit, absolutely fantastic collection of paintings. Really superb contemporary art with some classical ones too. The contemporary section really stood out. Spent almost an hour in total and it was well worth the 6 or so Euros 💯

(Translated by Google) Spectacular and deserves more visits. We found a volunteer lady who explained everything to us in depth, made us appreciate every work, from the frescoes to the goldsmith's works. It is a place full of history, it has a spectacular and detailed nativity scene, a fabric medieval with a nice optical effect, frescoes and paintings, different garments that become more particular as the years in which they are produced pass, it also has an exhibition of modern works, the church is very pretty. Absolutely worth seeing, it is worth it and I assure you that you will not be disappointed (Original) Spettacolare e meriterebbe maggiori visite.Abbiamo trovato una signora volontaria che ci ha spiegato tutto in modo approfondito,ci ha fatto apprezzare ogni opera,dagli affreschi alle opere di oreficeria.É un posto pieno di storia, ha un presepe spettacolare e dettagliato,un tessuto medioevale con un effetto ottico simpatico,affreschi e dipinti,diverse vesti che diventano più particolari col passare degli anni in cui sono prodotte,ha anche una mostra di opere moderne, la chiesa molto carina. Da vedere assolutamente,merita e vi assicuro che non rimarrete delusi

It's certainly not the best Diocesan museum I visited in Italy. Very poor collection of ecclesiastic art. The most interesting part (frescoes of former refectory?) needs better light, they are too darkened

(Translated by Google) The pastoral with dragon is absolutely worth seeing!!! Never seen a patho with a dragon. The handcrafted nativity scene is beautiful, there are many details and scenes set in the little characters, stop carefully and see the numerous details of the nativity scene (Original) Assolutamente da vedere il pastorale con drago!!! Mai visto un patorale con un drago. Bellissimo è il presepe artigianale , ci sono tantissimi particolari e scene fissate nei piccoli personaggi, soffermarsi bene e vedere i numerosi particolari del presepe

(Translated by Google) With the same ticket as the civic museum, you can visit the contemporary art gallery, but also in what was the monastery of Santa Chiara, a wonderful nativity scene with reproductions of the facades of the main churches of the city, ALL IN WOOD. Handmade by a shoemaker, but perhaps we should say the artist of the city: Enzo Mosca. Hundreds of painted wooden characters, including houses, daily life and work immortalized by the artist. Beautiful. Collection of works of art with a medieval religious background. The entrance next to the stupendous white aqueduct commissioned by Frederick II of Swabia. (Original) Con lo stesso biglietto del museo civico, si può visitare la pinacoteca di arte contemporanea, ma anche sempre in quello che era il monastero di Santa Chiara, uno stupendo presepe con delle riproduzioni delle facciate delle principali chiese della città, TUTTO IN LEGNO. Fatto a mano da un calzolaio, ma forse sarebbe il caso di dire l'artista della città: Enzo Mosca. Centinaia di personaggi in legno dipinto, tra case, vita quotidiana e lavoro immortalati dall'artista. Bellissimo. Raccolta in oltre di opere d'arte a sfondo religioso medievale. L'entrata di fianco allo stupendo acquedotto bianco voluto da Federico II di Svevia.

(Translated by Google) It contains two collections: the modern and contemporary one (I created a separate place), very rich but which I - purely subjective judgment - don't like and the museum of sacred art. The latter contains masterpieces, in particular of gold and silver work from the famous Sulmona school of the fifteenth century. Worth visiting. Ticket coordinated with that of the Archaeological Museum. (Original) Contiene due collezioni: quella moderna e contemporanea (ho creato un luogo a parte), molto ricca ma che a me - giudizio puramente soggettivo - non piace ed il museo di arte sacra. Quest'ultimo contiene capolavori, in particolare di orificeria e argenteria della famosa scuola sulmonese del quattrocento. Da visitare. Biglietto coordinato con quello del Museo Archeologico.

(Translated by Google) Excellent guide, precise and passionate about his work (Original) Ottima guida precisa e appassionata del proprio lavoro

Beautiful viw of the mountains from the piazza! Great for photos.

A nice and big square in center of Sulmona

Beautiful piazza. Such a charming town!

Such a shame the fountain is not on.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful square also in terms of size. Plenty of space for a pleasant walk with a beautiful view of the mountains on one side and the ancient aqueduct on the other. I believe that for those who have a few hours to spend there are truly many opportunities to take beautiful photos. There are many restaurants and ice cream parlors nearby. (Original) Una gran bella piazza anche per dimensioni. Tanto spazio per una piacevole passeggiata con la bella vista dei monti da un lato e l’antico acquedotto dall’altro. Credo che per chi ha qualche ora da spendere ci siano veramente tante occasioni di fare delle bellissime foto. Nei dintorni tanti ristoranti e gelaterie.

(Translated by Google) Truly beautiful square here you can enjoy a truly enchanting view of the snow-capped mountains to visit (Original) Piazza veramente bella qui si gode un panorama davvero incantevole i monti innevati da visotare

(Translated by Google) Imposing large fountain located in the center of the stalls of Piazza Garibaldi with the stupendous glimpse of the Majella and Morrone mountains behind it. To be visited perhaps at dusk while eating an ice cream sitting on the cordons (the staircase that connects the square to Corso Ovidio). Really suggestive. (Original) Imponente fontanone posto al centro del plateatico di piazza Garibaldi con alle spalle lo stupendo scorcio dei monti Majella e Morrone. Da visitare magari all'imbrunire mangiando un gelato seduti sui cordoni (la scalinata che collega la piazza a corso ovidio). Davvero suggedtivo.

A real delicacy!

(Translated by Google) From Frankfurt am Main, we ordered the confetti for our wedding from Pelino. Tradition states that for the wedding 5 confetti must be offered, each for a wish:  health, happiness, wealth, longevity, fertility. We couldn't have made a better choice by ordering the confetti for our wedding from Pelino to thank our guests. Angela and her colleagues are very friendly, helpful, very kind, professional.... in a few words, wonderful! They responded with professionalism and availability to all our requests. Italian excellence from all points of view: very high quality of products, perfection in the combination of flavours.

Angela e le colleghe sono molto cordiali, disponibili, gentilissime, professionali.... in poche parole meravigliose! Hanno risposto con professionalità e disponibilità ad ogni nostra richiesta. L'eccellenza italiana da tutti i punti di vista: altissima qualità dei prodotti, la perfezione nel abbinamento dei gusti.

Waiting time seems an eternity even with few tables. Pizza not recommended at all. Bruschetta bland of flavour same as the rest. Tiramisù not as traditional and without coffee. Slow service and not attentive. Such a waste of time; the name of the restaurant face what I just said.

An excellent pizzeria that offers a choice of traditional and special pizzas and a wide variety of appetizers and various delicacies especially known 'arosticini'!

Great trattoria, pasta and gnocchi were exceptional, the beer on tap fresh and cold, decorated beautifully in a cavernous building in a stunning location near the medieval aqueduct in a marvelous Abruzzo city, recommend 👍

I love this restaurant because the owner and staff are very accommodating as we usually late and can still have a fab meal at 11.pm. Great pizzas and wine and it's excellent value for money.... Its really nice in the warm weather when you can sit outside. 👌👌

Good food, Friendly service, obliging English speaking staff, authentic Italian ambience, mostly attended by locals, central location, reasonable prices with decent servings. AND have Gluten Free Pizza... which is hard to find in this part of Italy.

This place a has a good variety of pizza and appetizers. The food was good quality but nothing made me swoon. The service was very kind to our small child.

Yum! Pizza. Ambiance, wine, child friendly, value for money. Elisa and her brothers have created a real gem here.

My wife and I haven't tried Bar Centrale for several years because we have had our favorite Caffe elsewhere. We did stop by this AM for coffee amd I was very surprised at the quality of the coffee ☕️ very good. I've read most of the reviews and see a mix from one star to five star. I have always given a Caffe, Restaurante a second chance. Because, the first visit may have circumstances that would have caused issues. So I would recommend Bar Centrale.

Had a coffee going to the Saturday market and another leaving at lunchtime. Had a tasty toasted cheese and tomato panini too.

Great location, expensive beer, bad food, and I'm an American.

Nice but expensive

(Translated by Google) My wife and I were in Sulmona a week ago and stopped at this place for an aperitivo. I'll say right away that we had a great time, both for the drinks and the service, but what I want to highlight is the kindness and generosity of the owner. Since a storm had just started, my t-shirt was completely soaked. The owner, realizing the situation, gave me one of the staff's t-shirts, saving me from an uncomfortable situation. I thank him again for this gesture and invite anyone who can to visit this place. Alessandro and Francesca Genova (Original) Trovandomi con mia moglie a Sulmona una settimana fa, siamo stati in questo locale per un aperitivo. Dico subito che ci siamo trovati bene, sia per le bevande che per il servizio, ma la cosa che voglio segnalare riguarda la gentilezza e la generosità del titolare. Siccome si era scatenato da poco un temporale, io avevo la t-shirt completamente bagnata. Il titolare rendendosi conto della situazione mi ha regalato una maglia di quelle in dotazione dello staff,levandomi da una situazione di disagio. Lo ringrazio ancora per questo gesto ed invito chiunque possa a frequentare questo locale Alessandro e Francesca Genova

(Translated by Google) We had a spritz and a negroni. The negroni was so bad it wouldn't even have been good as bad. The Campari spritz was good. All for €13. We asked for two chips/peanuts to dab, €2. Well... asking €2 for two peanuts as an aperitif, when you paid €6/7 each, is truly stingy. (Original) Abbiamo preso uno spritz e un negroni. Il negroni era talmente sbagliato che non sarebbe neanche andato bene come sbagliato. Buono lo spritz campari Il tutto per 13 euro. Chiediamo due patatine/noccioline per tamponare, 2€. Bah..chiedere due euro per due noccioline da aperitivo, pagato 6/7 l'uno è da veri spilorci

(Translated by Google) Outrageous salad, with a salad with questionable washing, focaccia dry as death. They bring oil and salt separately, the oil bottle very dirty and with a finger of oil in it.
