Civitella Dʼagliano combines a historically shaped town centre with art and wine. The historic centre is characterised by medieval architecture. The Rocca Monaldeschi and its tower are considered landmarks of the town. The complex dates back to the 13th century and served as a fortification and observation post.
Churches and Alleys in the Historic Centre
The central Piazzetta is lined by the Chiesa della Madonna delle Grazie and the ancient Parrocchia dei SS. Pietro e Callisto. Five small alleys radiate from this square. This gives the centre a clearly recognisable structure in which the religious buildings and medieval architecture directly relate to one another.
Historical landmarks can also be found outside the built-up town centre. The Chiesa del Conventino is located outside the built-up town centre and dates back to the 15th century. The first construction of the Parrocchia dei SS. Pietro e Callisto is dated to the period between the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Graves, dovecotes, remains of Roman villas, fragments of columns and ceramic finds have also been discovered in the Civitella Dʼagliano area, bearing witness to early settlements.
Art, Events and Different Ways to Spend Your Trip
In the Civitella d’Agliano area, the Giardino d’arte La Serpara offers a special attraction for art enthusiasts: the garden contains more than thirty sculptures and installations. For families, this contrast with the historic townscape can be appealing, as it allows cultural discoveries to be combined with an outing in the surrounding area without restricting the stay to a single theme.
The events calendar adds further highlights across several seasons. The traditional Nelle Terre del Grechetto event takes place on the last weekend of July, while the Sagra della Birra e della Pizza takes place in August. Events expected in September include the Festival del Vino e della Musica and the Festa del Patrono San Gorgonio Martire. When planning your trip, you can therefore also consider whether you would rather focus on historic impressions, art or local festivals.
Olive Groves, Oil and Civitella d’Agliano IGT
The Civitella d’Agliano area is rich in olive groves. Local olive oil can be tasted in Civitella d’Agliano. The recommended tasting selection also includes the white, rosé and red wines of the Civitella d’Agliano IGT designation. Travellers who enjoy combining regional products with cultural experiences will find another specific focus here alongside churches, festivals and art.
