Sights in Sulmona

  1. Palazzo dell’Annunziata

    The most impressive of the palazzi on Corso Ovidio is the 16th-century Palazzo dell’Annunziata, a harmonious blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Inside, the Museo Civico has a small collection of Roman mosaics and Renaissance sculpture, and the Museo Archeologico in situ showcases a 1st-century-BC Roman villa. At the time of research, both museums were closed on account of damage sustained in the 2009 earthquake.
