Roccascalegna

Overview

It seems like an invented place, Roccascalegna, a castle narrated in some fairy tale. Instead, this splendid castle really exists and is so evocative that it was chosen as the location for the film 'Il racconto dei racconti' by Matteo Garrone. Set on a rocky spur, it dominates the medieval village, the Rio Secco valley and the wide Sangro valley, just like an ancient guardian, imposing and taciturn. To visit it means to immerse oneself in the charm of the ancient Middle Ages, losing oneself in observing the vestibule with its herringbone brick pavement, the sentinel tower, up to the prison tower, the Angevin tower, the church, the watchtower, the external walkway. An exciting visit, an intense experience.
