"The sacred place was dedicated to the figure of the goddess Angizia, venerated by the Marsi who inhabited the shores of Lake Fucino. The sacred area, dating back to the 3rd century BC, is also known as Anxa, a Latin name derived from the Marsian name of Anctia (name indigenous to the goddess Angizia)[4]. The area served as a municipality until the early Middle Ages (from Wiki)".

Piccolomini Castle of Ortucchio

Highlight • Castle

The Piccolomini castle initially stood on the island of Ortucchio near Lake Fucino. The structure, in fact, was surrounded by a moat whose waters were connected to the lake. As the lake dried up, this protection disappeared.
The Renaissance style structure was commissioned in 1488 by Antonio Todeschini Piccolomini, after the destruction of a previous fortification by Napoleone Orsini." (Wiki)

Morroni Roman Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The Morroni are ancient remnants of Roman civilization. In fact, where San Benedetto dei Marsi stands today, there was a city called Marruvium, which was the capital of the Marsi people and later became a thriving Roman municipality.
Since no inscriptions have been found, it is thought that the Morroni are tombs or monuments honoring important figures in society.
