Woods, vineyards, orchards, pine forests, and streams line this welcoming village rich in services, with a beautiful main street, a charming historic center that winds through alleys and postcard views, and a lively environment full of initiatives, also thanks to the cultural associations present in the area. Just twenty minutes away, you can reach the Costa dei Trabocchi with beautiful beaches and crystal-clear sea. In this stretch of coast, the cycling path - greenway of the trabocchi has been created using the old railway track. The Costa dei Trabocchi hosts seven natural reserves that preserve and protect authentic landscape jewels that will make you fall in love with this wild land. Don't miss excursions to the Tremiti Islands, just an hour away by catamaran. Built on gypsum quarries, the town bears traces of a past that seems to sink its roots even into pre-Roman times.

The Castle, which housed the governor, the armory, and the stables, collapsed in 1742. The Town Hall is located inside Palazzo Carunchio, a noble building that arose on the vestiges of the convent of San Francesco d'Assisi, dating back to the XIII century, of which walls, cisterns, and wells still remain. Proceeding along Salita Castello, you emerge onto Via La Chiesa, where you can find the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, dating back to 1568.
