Arquata del Tronto

Few towns in Marche have a history as closely tied to the Via Salaria, the ancient road linking Rome with the Adriatic, as Arquata del Tronto. Set high in the upper valley of the Tronto River, it lies within Monti Sibillini National Park, where the Apennines form a rugged inland boundary between Marche, Lazio and Abruzzo. The medieval Rocca di Arquata, positioned above the settlement, recalls the town’s role in watching this strategic passage. Arquata was severely affected by the 2016 central Italian earthquakes, and recovery remains part of its present-day story.
