Collepietro

Collepietro straddles a ridge above the Navelli Plateau in inland Abruzzo, a defensible setting that shaped its dense medieval settlement. Stone houses and narrow lanes follow the compact outline of a castello-recinto, a fortified village form in which dwellings once helped create the outer defensive wall. The town belongs to the Apennine interior of the Province of L'Aquila, where open plateau country contrasts with the stony, elevated villages on its margins.
