Discover Roccascalegna: Tours & Activities in Italy

Roccascalegna is an enchanting hilltop village in Italy’s Abruzzo region, famous for its dramatic medieval castle perched on a rocky outcrop. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush landscapes, this small village offers visitors a step back in time, charming streets, and breathtaking panoramic views, making it a perfect getaway for those seeking both history and natural beauty.

A glimpse into the past

The village's story stretches back to the Middle Ages, with its iconic castle built between the 11th and 15th centuries. Throughout history, the fortress served as a strategic lookout and defense point, watching over the valley below. Today, its stone towers and walls still reflect centuries of legends and local tales.

When to go

While Roccascalegna is beautiful all year round, spring and early autumn are the best times to visit. During these months, the weather is pleasant, and the countryside is especially vibrant with blossoms or colorful foliage. Summers can get quite warm, while winters offer a quieter, mystical charm.

How do I get there?

The village is accessible mainly by car, with parking areas close to the historic center. The nearest larger town is Lanciano, from where you can follow well-signposted roads into the hills. Public transport is limited, so a private vehicle or organized tour is recommended.
