Tagliacozzo — Centro Storico & Monte Bove

Abruzzo

Tagliacozzo's narrow medieval streets, radiating from an elegant central piazza, sit near the site of the 1268 Battle of Tagliacozzo, a decisive clash between rival claimants to the Kingdom of Sicily that Dante references in the Divine Comedy. The ridge of Monte Bove rises directly behind the town.
