The historic center retains the typical atmosphere of Abruzzo’s medieval villages, featuring picturesque alleys, panoramic views, and architectural remnants that narrate centuries of history. Notable sites include the Monastery of the Seven Holy Brothers, dating back to the 9th century and one of the oldest religious complexes in the area, the Church of the Addolorata, built between 1828 and 1841, and the remains of ancient fortified walls with towers that once protected the settlement. Additionally, there is the Fausto Marini Multidisciplinary Complex, which houses an astronomical observatory, a natural history museum, and a planetarium, serving as a cultural and scientific hub for the entire region.
