CASTEL DI IERI - L’AQUILA PROVINCE
The small, fortified village of Castel di Ieri is perched on a small plateau 519 metres above sea level. It is located within the Sirente regional national park and is surrounded by hills used mainly for agricultural activities.
Castel di Ieri is still characterised by the majestic square tower that dominates the ancient village. One of its major attractions is certainly the historic centre which is one of the best preserved in the province of L’Aquila. The medieval streets radiate and intertwine throughout the town up to the tower.
There are a few food shops, post office and a couple of bars and restaurants to serve the population of 311.
The Abruzzo Museum of Graphic Arts can be found here showing works by 19th Century masters, Abruzzo engravers and paintings from the new generation of local and foreign artists.
Castel di Ieri has many annual religious and cultural events. Amongst the most recent, is the Castel di Ieri Rock Nights which takes place each August and appeals to young and old alike.
For those who love to try new food, the local recipe of Micischia is a must. Now rare to find it is closely linked to the world of shepherds and is a richly flavoured sheep meat, dried and shredded into strips.
