Things to do in Abruzzo, Italy: The Best Neighborhoods
Abruzzo (pronounced [aˈbruttso]) is a region of Central Italy, with an area of 10,763 square km (4,156 sq mi) and a population of 1.2 million. Its western border lies 80 km (50 mi) east of Rome. The region is divided into the four provinces of L'Aquila, Teramo, Pescara, and Chieti. Abruzzo borders the region of Marche to the north, Lazio to the west and south-west, Molise to the south-east, and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Geographically, Abruzzo is divided into a mountainous area to the west, which includes the Gran Sasso D'italia, and a coastal area to the east with beaches on the Adriatic sea. Abruzzo is partially considered culturally, linguistically, historically, and economically a region of Southern Italy, although geographically it may also be considered central. The Italian Statistical Authority (ISTAT) deems it to be part of Southern Italy, partially because of Abruzzo's historic association with the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

This is one of the pittoresque hillside villages and towns in Abruzzo, with the addition of a grand fortress (partially ruined) dominating the top, and great views over the Gran Sasso mountains. The historic centre holds many old and characteristic buildings, sadly some were damaged in the 2016 earthquake and have not yet been renovated. All the churches were closed when we visited, and some had clear damage from the earthquake and will not reopen soon. Some seemed fine from the outside. Still, the village is well worth a half day stay and walk around. For views of the village, walk to the Santa Maria dei Lumi church and convent (limited opening times). There are a few places along the route that offer great views of the village.
9. Borgo Medievale di Crecchio
