Capestrano, a jewel nestled in the heart of Abruzzo, is a concentration of history and art. This city in L'Aquila is famous for the statue of the "Warrior of Capestrano," a masterpiece of pre-Roman Italic art dating back to the 6th century BC, housed in the National Archaeological Museum of Abruzzo. Strolling through the ancient streets, one can admire the medieval architecture, with the church of San Pietro ad Oratorium, an excellent example of sacred art with frescoes that tell stories of faith and tradition. Equally fascinating is the Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere, which with its panoramic position offers a view of monastic art and the Abruzzo landscape. Capestrano invites art and culture enthusiasts to an unforgettable journey, where every stone tells a thousand-year-old story.
