Guardiagrele

Tucked between the eastern slopes of the Maiella massif and Abruzzo’s Adriatic-facing hills, Guardiagrele is a place whose character is shaped by its position above the Aventino valley. Its compact old centre preserves stone lanes, arches and medieval houses, while the collegiate church of Santa Maria Maggiore is noted for its Gothic portal. Guardiagrele is closely linked to Nicola da Guardiagrele, a leading 15th-century Abruzzese goldsmith and sculptor whose name remains part of the town’s identity. The Maiella National Park lies to the west, placing the town between mountain country and routes descending toward the coast.
