Salle, a sleepy town, as if forgotten by time, is located at an altitude of 470 m above sea level, in a panoramic position at the foot of the Morrone Massif. It is famous for its bridge over the phenomenal canyon of the Orta River and for its suggestive panorama of the peaks of the Central Apennines. The village is part of the Maiella National Park and many cycling and hiking trails in the region lead through it.

The origin of Salle dates back to the end of the 10th century, the village was originally built in an active and extremely dangerous seismic place (today this place is called Salle Vecchia). For 1,000 years, earthquakes caused damage there, and in 1915, as a result of the earthquake in Avezzano and the subsequent removal of the earth, parts of Salle, according to sources, simply disappeared.

After the earthquake in Abruzzo with the epicenter in Maiella in 1933 (amplitude 6 on the Richter scale), the city was moved to another location (almost 100 meters lower above sea level than where the Salle Vecchia was located). This new place is today's Salle.
