Pacentro - l-aquila province
Pacentro is a jewel which is located at 653 metres above sea level with a population of 1,250. It is a well preserved historic village with steep streets and stairways, decorative wrought iron railings, stone archways, carved wooden doors and plentiful examples of medieval housing. Moreover, the town also possesses an imposing castle which is predominantly medieval although parts do date back to the 9th Century. Its two prominent, square towers can be seen from many miles away.
Gastronomically, Pacentro offers excellent meat dishes which can be accompanied by superb local wines. These can be found and enjoyed in its wide choice of restaurants.
On a lighter note Pacentro is also well known for being the home town of pop-queen Madonna-s parents and grandparents!
Pacentro-s beautiful location and historic interest has earned it the prestigious title of ‘One of the most beautiful villages of Italy-.
