L'Aquila's historic center is a network of streets, squares, churches, and palaces that tell a story spanning more than seven centuries. Walking through its historic Quarti, you can move from grand monumental spaces to more intimate corners, each preserving a fragment of the city's identity.
Gateways, palaces, historic residences, churches, and fountains line the route, offering a glimpse of a city that still preserves the traces of its history and legends of the past, including the story of the 99 castles that, according to tradition, came together to found the city.
