L'AQUILA
L'Aquila is surrounded by the chains of the Sirente and Velino on the one hand and the chain of the Gran Sasso of Italy and the other from the mountains of Laga. It was originally located on the hill which had formed the border between the territory of Amiterno and Forcona.
The foundation was linked to the ferment of autonomy of the lands of the northern boundary of the Regnum Siciliae which became increasingly the death of Emperor Frederick II. The particular circumstances of the foundation will therefore reflect on urban city, giving it the final impression: each castle had in assignment area because there edificassero houses, the church and the square in front of the public fountain.
This is how the various districts and some jewels of sacred Romanesque Aquila, which the churches of Santa Maria Paganica, St. Just, St. Peter and St. Sylvester of torque. It dates from this period even the first phase of the city's most famous monument, the Fountain of the "99 spouts" work of Magister Tangredus de Pentana de Valva, as it tells an inscription on the back wall.
