L'Aquila: my hometown.
The legend says L'Aquila, situated at 720 m on sea level in the heart of the abruzzo region, was founded in the medieval era by the 99 lords of the castles around the valley where nowadays take place the town. For this reason you can usually listen to voices who say that in L'Aquila you can find 99 squares, 99 churches, 99 fountains..and so on. I've never tried to make a count but i can be sure that the tourist would have a lot of things to see and to do here. |

Of course, though gran sasso is the most famous, there are a lot of other mountains as beautyful as it all around the district. |
...and the seaside. But abruzzo,the region where l'aquila is, is not only mountains but, surprise..., in 1 hour you can reach the adriatic sea with its beaches and is landscapes so near as distances but so far as views.
I want to tell you i can't say everything about l'aquila in this few lines but this page wants to be just a point to start your research.However for more details about all concerning the town and its region you can always let me know. I will do my best to give you an accurate answer |

Having visited your beautiful city and stayed the night, I was devasted to hear about the earthquake, deaths, injuries, and homelessness. I saw in forum that you are OK. I pray for your town and people. | craic Tue Apr 7, 2009 02:10 UTC

L'Aquila č proprio bella! Non sono mai stato in Abruzzo ed č un peccato che la tua regione e le sue cittā siano ancora piuttosto sconosciute. Belle foto! |
