Visiting Rocca Calascio is an immersive experience immersed in wild nature and history, and a picnic lunch is the perfect way to fully enjoy the atmosphere and views. If you prefer not to bring your own lunch or want to enjoy something local before the climb, there are several options right next to the Rocca and in the village below.

Church of Santa Maria della Pietà

Highlight • Religious Site

The origin of the Church of Santa Maria della Pietà dates back to 1596, but the place had already been used as a votive site for at least a century. In fact, there was a much older votive shrine here, already frequented and venerated by the locals. Not much is known about the origin of this religious site, but a legend tells that in this place the local population managed to defeat a band of brigands who had long tormented the nearby village with raids and plunder, for this reason a celebratory site was built in honor of the Madonna, to thank her for this victory.

Would you like to take a short walk to one of the most impressive castle ruins in Abruzzo? Then I recommend climbing up to Rocca Calascio: a defiant castle like something out of a knight's novel, which sits on a windswept hill in the middle of a fantastically barren landscape.

A nice walk, not difficult, which deserves both for the view and for taking a leap into the past and enjoying the remains of the castle.
