Sulmona is a comune (municipality) in the province of L'Aquila, in the Italian region of Abruzzo. It is located in the Valle Peligna, a plain once occupied by a lake that disappeared in prehistoric times. In the ancient era, it was one of the most important cities of the Paeligni and is known for being the native town of the Roman poet Ovid, of whom there is a bronze statue, located on the town's main road.

As you wander through the town's winding streets, you'll be transported back in time. Sulmona dates back to the 8th century BC, and its historic center is filled with medieval buildings and ancient ruins. One of the town's most famous landmarks is the Palazzo dell'Annunziata, a stunning Renaissance palace that now serves as a museum.

Foodies will love Sulmona's delicious cuisine, which includes local specialties like confetti, sugared almonds that are a popular souvenir. You can also indulge in hearty dishes like lamb stew and arrosticini, skewers of grilled lamb. Wash it all down with a glass of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a red wine produced in the region.
