L’Aquila: A City of Heritage and Resilience
A Medieval Foundation
Founded in the 13th century, L’Aquila was built with the blessing of Emperor Frederick II and Pope Innocent IV. Its medieval urban layout still shapes the historic center, with narrow lanes, piazzas, and fortifications that transport visitors to an earlier time.
Architectural Marvels
The city is home to breathtaking landmarks. The Basilica di Santa Maria di Collemaggio, dating back to 1287, is a masterpiece of Romanesque and Gothic styles, known as the site of the Perdonanza Celestiniana, a tradition started by Pope Celestine V that continues to this day. The Basilica of San Bernardino and the Fountain of the 99 Spouts further showcase the city’s rich cultural and spiritual identity.
The Spanish Fort
Perched on a hill, the Forte Spagnolo (Spanish Fort) is one of L’Aquila’s defining symbols. Built in the 16th century under Spanish rule, it remains an imposing presence and houses the National Museum of Abruzzo, displaying art, archaeology, and history of the region.
The Natural World
L’Aquila is surrounded by natural splendor. The Gran Sasso National Park offers majestic mountain landscapes, hiking trails, and winter sports opportunities, making the city a gateway for outdoor adventure. This close connection between history and nature makes L’Aquila a rare blend of culture and natural beauty.
A Cultural Identity
Despite the tragedy of the 2009 earthquake, L’Aquila has risen as a symbol of resilience. Restoration projects continue to revive its cultural treasures while preserving authenticity. The city also plays host to festivals, concerts, and events that bring its vibrant spirit alive, such as the Settimana Musicale Aquilana, a renowned classical music festival.
