Beyond their spiritual significance, this site is renowned for the incredible panoramic view it offers of the Peligna Valley; once you reach them, you feel as if you're standing on a natural terrace suspended in the void. The crosses are often illuminated for special occasions or religious holidays, making them visible even at night from across the valley below.
