The construction of the Sulmona aqueduct dates back to 1256 during the reign of Manfredi of Swabia (son of Frederick II of Swabia). The purpose of its construction was twofold: to irrigate the cultivated lands and to supply energy to the artisanal activities.

Sulmona, the heart of Abruzzo and close to the Maiella National Park, is famous for its sugared almonds and the tradition of Ovid, a Latin poet born here. It boasts an ancient aqueduct dating back to 1256, the historic Filiamabili gate and the lively Corso Ovidio.
