Pacentro

The best time to arrive in Pacentro is the sunset time, when the lights of the village begin to turn on and compete with the last lights in the sky, creating an enchanted and timeless atmosphere. The village rises on the slopes of the Morrone Mountains, perched, with the mountain protecting it and its gaze watching over the Peligna Valley. The heart of the village and the element that better than anything else recounts its past is the Caldora Castle, with its towers, protective outer walls and moat, while all around the village lies a landscape that is just waiting to be explored, following the many paths that criss-cross it. A curiosity: the village is known to be the birthplace of the Ciccone family, from which the singer Madonna descends.
