Fossa

Fossa has served as a settlement in Abruzzo’s Aterno valley since the Iron Age. The Necropolis of Fossa, on the edge of the modern village, documents burial customs from the 9th century BC through the Roman period, including distinctive tumulus graves. The Aterno River valley runs between the Apennine uplands and the Gran Sasso area, while L’Aquila lies close to the northwest. Fossa also preserves the church of Santa Maria ad Cryptas, noted for its medieval frescoes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Abruzzo.
