The Gravina del Fullonese is an important rock settlement that has hosted pilgrims walking along the Appian Way for centuries. Walking along the ravine you will discover the numerous caves that open up along the sides of the ravine, covered with thick bushes of thyme, wild thyme and rue that intensely perfume the environment, while trees occupy the various terraces. The caves have various shapes depending on the various needs of the people who inhabited them over the centuries.
