L'Aquila

L’Aquila, the regional country seat of Abruzzo is a city that boasts an incredible cultural heritage, including monumental castles, churches, precious courtyards, historic fountains, and wonderful historical buildings. L’Aquila was founded in 1254. It was built on a pre-existing site of immeasurable beauty: it lies on the slopes of the Gran Sasso mountain, situated on the left bank of the Aterno river, the so-called “L’Aquila basin”.

There are dozens of reasons to visit L’Aquila, but one of it is worthy to mention: today the city offers visitors the possibility to admire it shining again after its rebuilding. The city was destroyed in 2009 by a violent earthquake, but nowadays, after its reconstruction, the city can show again a particular enchanting combination of medieval, Renaissance and baroque artistic evidences.

The city center of L’Aquila boasts a convenient pedestrian area where there are many hotels allowing visitors both to sightsee easily the city and to reach the event venue on foot.

Once you arrive in the city, all you need to do is to take a taxi to reach the center hosting the event and fully experience the atmosphere of the historic center.
