Capracotta

Overview

At more than 1400 metres above sea level, Capracotta is the highest municipality in the Apennines. Its most imposing peak is Monte Campo, which exceeds 1,700 metres above sea level. A ski resort of national importance, Capracotta is also known for the event that takes place on the first Sunday of August in the locality of Prato Gentile: the Pezzata, an event that revolves around a typical dish, boiled sheep, a tradition that dates back to the ancient transhumance that crossed the territory. Also not to be missed is the Giardino delle Flora Appenninica, one of the few examples of a 'natural botanical garden' in Italy, and, in the historic centre, the Palazzo Baronale and the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo, of typically mountain architecture.
