Let us discover the two ancient medieval villages that, more than any other, have marked the history of this magnificent territory, where the Baronia of Carapelle was born.
We start with a visit to the small town of Carapelle Calvisio, which over time has maintained the beauty of the medieval village with its medieval churches unchanged, and we walk along the tratturello in a mixed environment of woods and clearings to reach the elegant Castelvecchio Calvisio, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful villages in the Park. Here we will visit the marvellous historical centre that represents one of the masterpieces of Abruzzo's medieval architecture. There will be no shortage of visits to the churches, true architectural jewels of this Gran Sasso area that has so much to tell.
