“The capital of shepherds”, this is how Castel del Monte is called, among the most beautiful villages in Italy. Among its particularities are the star shape of its town, especially when seen from above at night and ancient beliefs about witches. Typical sheep farming product, the famous "il cane strato" cheese from Castel del Monte. https://www.gransassolagapark.it/paesi_dettaglio.php?id=66026

From Monte Bolza and its crest you can enjoy a beautiful and evocative western film landscape. The climb is demanding but worth all the effort!

Castel del Monte is a typical Abruzzo village, located in the middle of the Gran Sasso national park and with beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The village is full of charming alleyways and stairways: a little gem!
