Here you'll find three large crosses depicting the crucifixion of Jesus and the two thieves. For those living in Bagnaturo and Sulmona, they're a constant visual reference: looking up at the mountain from below, they stand out clearly against the ridge.
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.
