    Rocca Calascio is a fortress located in Abruzzo, in the province of L'Aquila, at an altitude of 1.450, just above the town Calascio. It is included in the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park. It is known for the presence of the castle, among the highest in Italy and the highest in the Appennini group, and of the ancient medieval village below, still inhabited by only 5 inhabitants; the fortress overlooks the Plain of Navelli at one of the highest points and have wonderful view on Gran Sasso group and it is also known for the setting of some films (above all Lady Hawke and The name of the rose)
