Known for its prominent twin towers, Pacentro is a perfectly preserved medieval village offering stunning mountain vistas.

Guarding the entrance to the Majella National Park, Pacentro is dominated by the Caldora Castle with its iconic square towers. The village is a labyrinth of steep, stepped alleys and stone houses that seem to emerge directly from the mountain rock. It’s an ideal starting point for hiking and immersing yourself in Abruzzo's wild nature.
