Sorgenti del Volturno

Molise

Clear, cold water wells up from several points here to form the headwaters of the Volturno, which goes on to become Campania's principal river. The site sits beside the ruins of one of medieval Europe's most important monasteries, and short paths link the spring pools to the abbey's excavated foundations.
