Castelluccio of Norcia

The roof of the Apennines and the heart of the Sibillini Mountains, this is Castelluccio di Norcia, listed by the British newspaper “The Independent” as one of the 23 most incredible but least known places in the world…don’t miss it!

The flowering of Castelluccio

The best time to visit this unique place in the world is definitely between mid-June and mid-July, when the valley comes alive with a mosaic of colors from yellow ochre to red, from lilac to indigo-it is the flowering of Castelluccio di Norcia, in the picturesque setting of the Sibillini Mountains Park.

A spectacle for the eyes and the heart: lentils (characteristic and cultivated in Castelluccio, of which they are one of the most typical products), gentians, poppies, daffodils, violets, asphodels, violet Eugeniae, clovers, sorrels, and many more blooms.
