Come discover the beauty of the historic center and the medieval village of Barrea

Visit the ancient castle with its two towers and the Antiquarium, which houses artifacts from the Safina civilization. This is a place where history, culture, and nature blend together, making Barrea a truly unique destination. At the end of the visit, you will reach a hill above Barrea to wait for sunset and enjoy the magnificent view over the Vallis Regia.
PROGRAM

Appuntamento presso la nostra sede in Corso Duca degli Abruzzi 16. Orario da concordare a seconda del tramonto. Incontro con la guida. Visita del Centro storico di Barrea, un piccolo borgo medioevale immutato nel tempo. Attraverso i due soli accessi, la “Porta di Sopra” e la “Porta di Sotto”, si entra in un susseguirsi di vicoli, piazzette e scorci panoramici. Il percorso si svolge all’interno della cinta difensiva delle antiche “Case Mura” che collegano lo “Studio”, primo edificio di Barrea, con il Castello. Visita al Castello, posto sulla parte più alta del paese, che con le sue due torri, quella quadrata dell’XI secolo e quella rotonda del 1500, domina il borgo e tutta la valle. Dal Castello si apre lo sguardo verso l’incantevole paesaggio della valle e, sul versante opposto, la profonda gola percorsa dal fiume Sangro che scorre verso la piana di Alfedena. Visita all’Antiquarium della Civiltà Safina, un antico popolo pre-italico di origine indoeuropea che ha iniziato a colonizzare l’area appenninica intorno al X secolo a.C. L’Antiquarium è un’esposizione permanente che raccoglie i corredi funerari risalenti al VI secolo a.C., rinvenuti durante gli scavi della necropoli in località “Colleciglio” di Barrea. Tra le decine di tumuli disposti in cerchi concentrici trovati nelle due necropoli, la tomba n. 96 conteneva i resti di un uomo imponente, un capo clan, il cosiddetto Guerriero di Barrea. A conclusione dell’esperienza, si prosegue verso un colle panoramico sopra Barrea, in una posizione privilegiata che domina l’intera vallata. Qui, immersi nel silenzio e nella quiete della natura, si attende insieme il tramonto. Il sole, scendendo lentamente dietro le montagne, tinge il cielo di sfumature calde e dorate, offrendo uno spettacolo emozionante sul paesaggio incontaminato della Vallis Regia. Un momento di contemplazione e meraviglia, perfetto per concludere la giornata con un ricordo indelebile.
