The Torre della Fara is located in Torre della Fara in the municipality of Celenza sul Trigno in the province of Chieti. The tower is located near the Trigno river and the Ateleta-Biferno tratturo and was in visual connection with neighboring towns and with the monastery of Santa Maria del Canneto in Roccavivara (Molise). The tower dates back to the 12th century.[1] Even if the toponym recalls the Longobard fara, it is, however, difficult to identify the period of construction of the site.[ The tower has a cylindrical structure and is made of stone[1], but stone fragments are also used to frame the openings and loopholes[2]. The tower is 15 meters high and 6 meters in diameter. The tower has no scarp walls and, at a third of the height there is an opening which, probably, is a raised entrance. Furthermore, inside there are the holes where the beams used to support the various levels. The roof inside is vaulted with a lowered cap. The use of mortar in the Torre della Fara decreases with height[1] just as the thickness of the walls decreases with increasing height

Small village in the province of Campobasso, it boasts medieval ramparts and a medieval church (XIII) with a chapel dedicated to Pietro da Morrone (later Pope Celestino V)

The town is located at 900 m a.s.l. and, from some points of the place, you can see the Tremiti islands and the tops of the Maiella. On the hill there is a castle, albeit in advanced ruins. There is no certain information about the birth of Sant’Angelo Limosano for sure, however, it is known that in the past it was the fortress of the nearby town of Limosano. The last feudal lords were the de Attellis who ruled the territory from 1650 until the abolition of feudalism. The conditions of the town improved when, in the seventeenth century, the baron moved from the top of the castle to the inhabited center and when Cardinal Vincenzo Maria Orsini took important initiatives during his numerous pastoral visits. Sant’Angelo Limosano claims the Sant Angiolese citizenship of Pope San Pier Celestino (Celestino V), who has not yet been recognized as the dispute with Isernia is still underway. It is also the birthplace of the self-taught inventor Alessio Marone to whom the Corso that winds under the great Vittorio Emanuele III ramp, the main access road to the town, is named. Il Marone is remembered for the invention of the electromagnetic-chemical telegraph and the Maltese cross tubular bridges. The parish church of Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo, restored over the past centuries, is a harmonious building to visit. Another place to admire is the ancient church of San Pier Celestino which in 1695 was transformed by Cardinal Orsini into a granary because it had not been restored according to his orders. Going along via del Municipio, you arrive at Rua and Contrada di San Pietro. Places linked to the name of Pope Angelico are the "hill" and the "Fonte di San Pietro" from which water begins to flow after the winter, a few days before the feast of the Saint, on 19 May. Worth visiting is the sanctuary of the Madonna delle Stelle, built two kilometers from the town, to the west, following the discovery of a statue of the Madonna on January 3, 1926.
