The Sanctuary of Hercules Curino
L'AQUILA - In 1254 the
inhabitants of the popular 99 castles were
reunited by Conrad IV thanks to an executive
diploma issued by Frederic II from Swabia:
it stated the construction of the city,
which was probably named after the village
Acculi.
The remains of the Roman Sanctuary dating
back to the I century B.C. and dedicated
to Hercules Curino are
at the foot of Mount Morrone, not very far
from Badia Morronese, founded by Celestine
V.
