San Pietro Avellana is located on the border between Molise and Abruzzo. Walking among the streets of the town, the Cyclopean Walls are visible, the remains of the Samnite fortresses. Two other points of historical and cultural interest are the Fontana Grande, dating back to the 18th century, and the Museum of civilizations and traditions.
