Grotta-Sacrario di Bocca di Valle – Stillness and history at the foot of the Majella ⛰️ Hidden among the forests at the foot of the Majella mountains lies the impressive Sacrario di Bocca di Valle. This special war memorial is carved into the limestone of the mountain and pays tribute to the Abruzzese soldiers who lost their lives during World War I. The artificial cave with its monumental arches exudes a special tranquility. Inside, you will find the tomb of Andrea Bafile, a national war hero, and beautiful majolica panels by the famous artists Basilio and Tommaso Cascella, made up of hundreds of hand-painted ceramic tiles. Besides being a place full of history, it is also a beautiful starting point for walks through the cool beech forest, including the route to the spectacular Cascate di San Giovanni. A hidden gem where nature, art, and remembrance come together.
