Sulmona

Nestled in the heart of Abruzzo's Peligna Valley, Sulmona is renowned as the birthplace of the Roman poet Ovid and the home of Italy's finest confetti (sugared almonds). The medieval town enchants visitors with its elegant palaces, Gothic churches, and the spectacular backdrop of the Maiella mountains. Don't miss the Wednesday and Saturday markets in Piazza Garibaldi, where local artisans display their traditional crafts.
