Pacentro
Located approximately two hours east of Rome and one hour west of the Adriatic Coast, Pacentro has remained almost unchanged for centuries. There are no cars and its maze of narrow lanes, endless flights of steps, archway passages, carved coat of arms and emblems make Pacentro one the worlds few really timeless places.
Its three castles, constructed by the counts Valva, are still standing and have been recently renovated. Santa Maria Maggiore Church was built around the sixteenth century and St. Marcello's church, founded in 1047, was restored in 1166. The oldest church in the town is that of San Marcello. It was founded in the year 1047, but rebuilt in 1166 after it was later destroyed by fire.
The oldest part of the town is one of the best-preserved medieval centres in the region. On the highest part sits the ruins of the Cantelmo Castle named for one of the feudal families that once controlled Pacentro.
