Pretoro

Overview

Set on a rocky spur of the Majella, if we look at Pretoro from afar we seem to see a village that is the very continuation of the rock. Once we reach it, we enter the heart of the town and find ourselves breathing in the ancient atmosphere of this village that arose around 1600 after the destruction of Pretoro Castle, perched on the edge of the rock and called 'Castrum Pretorii de Theti'. Here, among narrow alleys woven together like precious embroidery, we wander around until we find ourselves before the majestic panorama that surrounds the village. Mountains and forests, also narrated in the 'San Domenico Centre for the dissemination of cultural and natural aspects on the wolf, snakes and the history of Pretoro'. Lastly, characteristic is the craftsmanship of wood, particularly the production of spindles for working wool.
