La Cantina del Vasaio - Alterum Iter In Castelli

Ancient village with spectacular views of the Gransasso chain. The top for ceramic lovers, for the rest there is nothing else.

Small museum with ceramics from the 16th century and beyond. Various pottery with some interesting pieces. Cost €5 adults and 3 over 12 years. Friendly staff because they allowed us to visit it despite the late hour. An audio guide would be useful to better understand the finds.

Very nice museum with valuable and historical artifacts. The girls who run it are very helpful, kind and prepared. During the visit a guide follows you, explaining the procedures followed for the preparation of the majolica and the decoration techniques. Unfortunately, the museum is currently in a temporary location due to work in the main building. In any case it is very suggestive and interesting. Prices are low. If you pass by Castelli, the visit is recommended!

Beautiful museum, also worth seeing is the Monumental Nativity Scene.

The town is dominated by the imposing presence of Gran Sasso, famous for the typical ceramics of the region, which to appreciate must visit the ceramic museum. The museum should be the first thing you visit to admire the paintings on the ceramics. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Danila from the museum, who kindly and with great professionalism explained everything there is to know about ceramics and their processes. Another place to visit is the church of San Donato just outside the town, where you can admire the ceiling decorated with ceramics. Have a good visit and a good life.

It is a fixed stop for us every year. It's worth a second visit if you're in the area.

Charming village where you can buy splendid ceramic objects handmade by local artists. It is worth a visit for those who come to Abruzzo, but also for those like me who live there every now and then I go and buy something!!!
