The best walks and hikes around Morro D'Oro

Great view, path a bit steep, beautiful landscape

Montepagano is a small historical village, the oldest hamlet of Roseto degli Abruzzi. It stands separate from the city, on a hill from which the view is enchanting, caressing the heights until it reaches the sea, shining and clear. The medieval heart of the village, which fascinates the traveller and transports him to a distant time, is its castle, perched and rich in works of art, a veritable treasure chest of great value. But the protagonists here are the flavours: on the hills surrounding the village, olive trees and vineyards are cultivated, yielding internationally renowned oil and wine. Its village is part of the 'Authentic Villages of Italy' association. Montepagano is not enough to look at: we must taste it, experience it... letting it conquer us.

Fonte D’Accolle is located on the hill at the foot of Montepagano. It can be reached by car from Roseto Sud via Via Accolle or from Montepagano, or on foot from Montepagano itself and Colle Patito. Spring water flows from Fonte d’Accolle. The date of construction of the work is not certain, there are documents dating back to around 1820 that refer to renovation and maintenance work. There is a concrete probability that the source was already used around the 11th century during the phase of the castle that led to the birth of Montepagano. Villages were built where there were water sources. Fonte d’Accolle is a perfect example of a smart city as it is composed of three main parts, each intended for a specific use: the first fountain from the left for drinking water, then a drinking trough for livestock placed in a niche and the washhouse composed of a covered stone basin where women did their laundry. The one that goes from Roseto to Montepagano passing through the Fonte d’Accolle is just one of the ancient routes of the Roseto territory. Many initiatives take place in this place, which is so suitable for hosting artistic, historical and environmental events, thanks to the large square in front of the fountain. Like every fascinating place, its history is accompanied by a nice legend. It is said that women who were unable to have children, after going to the source, miraculously, thanks to the intercession of a Saint, became pregnant. For this reason it is also called Fontana del Santo. Andreina Moretti, a well-known writer from Roseto, wrote the short story “La Fontana del Santo” whose story takes place at the Accolle fountain. A dialect musical was also based on the short story. (c) https://www.guidedellariservaborsacchio.it/fonte-dellaccolle/?doing_wp_cron=1743862249.0334219932556152343750
