Images of L'Aquila, Abruzzo (Gallery N°2)
L'Aquila sits upon hillside in the middle of a narrow valley, tall snow-capped mountains of the Gran Sasso massif flank the town.
In the highest part of the town is the massive fortress (Forte Spagnolo); it is currently home to the National Museum of Abruzzo.
The Church of San Bernardino di Siena (1472) has a fine Renaissance façade by Cola dell'Amatrice, and contains the monumental tomb of the saint, decorated with beautiful sculptures, and executed by Silvestro Ariscola in 1480.
The Church of Santa Maria di Collemaggio has a very fine Romanesque façade of simple design (1270-1280) in red and white marble, with three finely decorated portals and a rose-window above each.
Outside the town is the Fontana delle novantanove cannelle, a fountain with ninety-nine jets distributed along three walls, constructed in 1272.
