Castelluccio di Norcia was one of the places most affected by the 2016 earthquake. Some of the historic buildings, such as the church of Santa Maria Assunta, were completely destroyed as were most of the houses. Very little remains of the town, born close to a castle built by the Norcia government around the 16th century. The fortification was used to defend the eastern borders and the pastures on the plain. All that remained of the fortress itself was a portal which also collapsed during the earthquake. Today the town is slowly reborn, focusing above all on tourism and local products. However, there are still few alternatives for those wishing to spend a night in the village, both for food and accommodation.

The view from Castelluccio on the floors below and on the Redentore is fantastic, even more so going up the road that starts from the town and goes up towards Norcia

The village itself is nothing special, the food is like other places but costs more

The village is all red zone and cannot be visited, in the immediate vicinity there are various food shops and typical products.

Very impressive peculiar atmosphere: the plateau, mountains, living containers and earthquake ruins ...

spectacular view of the western Sibillini and the entire Karst plateau (pian grande, piccolo and lost) that surrounds it, without neglecting the excellent butcher's gastronomy
