The position of the castle is strategic, perched on top of a rocky ledge. Legend has it that, in 1646, the then baron of the castle (Corvo de Corvis) demanded the application in the town of the Ius primae noctis (all the women of the town to spend their wedding night with him instead of with their newly married consort ). For this reason he was assassinated.

Picturesque village of medieval origin which has only 132 inhabitants. But what it is famous for is its size: Pietraferrazzana, in fact, is the smallest town in Abruzzo. A pearl of extraordinary beauty and tranquility, waiting to be discovered, which takes its name from the rocky spur that overlooks the town on the top of which are the ruins of the old castle.

In addition to numerous small frogs and fish, this small water snake also lives in the Gola and presumably feeds on the former. Now, at the beginning of October, the waterfall is more of a small trickle. To do this, it can be easily reached from the parking lot at the entrance to the gorge after a few minutes of walking over round stones and mini climbing inserts over two slightly larger rocks with dry feet. Sturdy footwear is still advisable and, especially in bad weather, you should take the notice at the entrance to the gorge that you should only enter it with a helmet because of the risk of falling rocks.
