20의 토르님파르테가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The Amiternum amphitheater is a solemn testament to Abruzzo's glorious Roman past, located on the San Vittorino plain a few kilometers from L'Aquila. Built in the 1st century AD on the edge of the ancient Sabine city, it still retains its imposing elliptical structure with two tiers of arches that once accommodated up to six thousand spectators. Today, it offers a striking blend of the austere monumentality of ancient brickwork and the rural tranquility of the Aterno Valley.

At this site, you can see the ancient ruins of Amiternum, a city founded by the Sabines. Also in the area, in addition to the theater, amphitheater, and remains of a domus, you can see the remains of the ancient Via Cecilia, which connected Rome with the Abruzzo colonies in the present-day province of Teramo.

You start from Cartore and take two trails: the first, a bit challenging, is 2.5 hours long, and the second, easier, is about 4 hours long. I chose the 2.5-hour trail and recommend it for those in good shape! Once you reach your destination, you're surrounded by this wonderful view of Lake Duchessa and the surrounding mountains, including Monte Murolungo, whose majestic presence is hard to miss.

Very beautiful place with the lake that mirrors the surrounding mountains. The lake is inhabited by the Crested Newt.

From this stage a long, bumpy climb awaits you towards the Velino pass.

Very small village, surrounded by greenery and peace. Respect the place. Be careful, reaching it through Google Maps could lead you on a dirt road. Look for the paved road nearby.

The village of Cartore located on the slopes of the Montagne della Duchessa, coordinates 42.166595N, 13.310684E, at 944m. above sea level it is the only town within the Montagne della Duchessa Regional Nature Reserve. It is currently inhabited by only one resident family, the slow and progressive abandonment intensified after the Second World War with the emigration of the inhabitants towards the nearby towns (Santa Anatolia) and cities (Rome, L'Aquila, Avezzano). With the establishment of the Nature Reserve on 7 June 1990, a complex of old farmhouses was renovated by the Settima Comunità Montana Salto - Cicolano, which today houses the "Casali di Cartore - LA LOCANDA" structure where you can stay (the farmhouses offer rooms with breakfast, apartments with kitchen, sheets and towels and restaurant service), booking via the website www.casalidicartore.com https://www.riservaduchessa.it/cartore.html

The Duchess Lake, of karst origin, located at 1788m. above sea level, it is a natural basin of the central Apennines. The lake is not fed by its own springs or by a river and the water level is linked to meteorological factors (rain and snow).
