 The place
In a strategic position along the valley of the Sinello river, a few miles away from the Adriatic Sea, rises this ancient village, famous nowadays for its Madonna delle Grazie Sanctuary, a favourite destination for pilgrims.
History:
The site was inhabited in Roman times, as shown by remains of the early Chrisian era. In the Middle Ages its key strategic position was strengthened by a massive castle which still stands on top of the village. Later on it was under the Caldora and the d'Avalos.
