The ruins at Alba Fucens are a must see for anyone interested in Roman/Italian history. Unlike Pompeii or Herculaneum, they are not a well known tourist destination, so are not crowded. We were lucky enough to go with a guide provided by our hosts at the Villa d'Abruzzo in Torre de' Passeri who had an incredible amount of knowledge. There is a very well preserved amphitheatre, the remains of a village, plus the road leading to and from the village. Thanks to Luca, It was easy to imagine life there 2000 years ago

A large site spread over a hill. It has the remains of a very good amphitheatre & theatre dating from the first century AD. There are also remains of a market houses & a bath house. It is a lovely site with lots of wild flowers & butterflies to look at.

On our way to Rome from Sulmona, we took a short detour to visit the archeological park at Alba Fucens, just north of Avezzano. It's free to visit and there is plenty to see in this largely ignored site. Besides the Roman site, there's a medieval site, an amphitheater, castle ruins, and a very interesting Basilica built over a temple dedicated to Apollo and built reusing its columns. Around 191 BC, the community became a municipium. Its location on the crossroads of Via Tiburtina Valeria, an ancient Roman road that linked Rome to the Adriatic Sea, and an important route between the regions of Etruria and Campania, meant that the town was a strategically important town to control. Fascinating to walk freely there, almost alone, and touch the ruins without guards or barriers.

This is a lovely site to visit and out of standard Italian holiday season there is no one around. We had the whole enourmous site to ourselves. The site suddenly appears in the middle of the village. There seems to be no official car park and I think the information point was there but we could not be sure as it was closed. It would have been nice to have some information as to what we were looking at and how it was laid out- however you could feel the atmosphere.
We will go back for another visit as they have still a lot more to excavate!

Half way between Rome and Pescara lies the Roman ruins of Alba Fusens. What is so fantastic about this place is the church. It had been a Roman temple, the Roman columns are still in place, you can see the Roman tiles on the floor, Get an interpreter so you can really find out about it. There is a coliseum there and many more ruins than I can name here. Well worth the drive off the beaten path. Also just north up the road is Massa D'Alba which has some medieval ruins of a castle.

Alba Fucens is the largest Roman site (so far excavated) in the Abruzzo and it is beautifully located. It was NOT the easiest to find but once we were there we enjoyed our visit tremendously. It is free to visit which is always nice, and apart from one guided tour there were very few other visitors. Some of the reconstruction was a bit clumsy, with large 'blobs' of concrete holding some things together, and mosaic floors were not sadly not revealed, which seemed a shame as it would be quite easy to excavate and display - but I guess money has run out. A 5 minute walk away is a very impressive amphitheatre. There was space to park and we had a beer in a garden area overlooking the site afterwards. A good couple of hours - but take hat and sunscreen as there was little or no shade to be found.

This area was recommended to us to visit. We weren't disappointed. There is a historical Church near to the amphitheatre but you need to contact the custodian if you want to see inside.
