The Abbey of San Benedetto is the main historical building in the town and one of the most significant monuments in the area. The current building dates back to the 11th century and is one of the most important examples of Romanesque architecture in Abruzzo. The stone facade and elegant portal speak of the long religious tradition of the place. The interior preserves medieval architectural elements that bear witness to the monastic presence in the area. For centuries, the abbey has been the spiritual centre of the community and continues to be one of the town's most important symbols.
