In the little that remains of its historic streets, the town boasts an excellent museum, the Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo, dedicated to the life and popular traditions of the region. Perhaps the most enchanting room is one devoted to the nomadic shepherds, containing books of their poetry, carved objects and volumes of Ariosto's chivalric romance Orlando Furioso.
