The origins of Tossicia intertwine with legend. Built on a rocky spur between the Chiarino stream and the Valley stream, at 409 meters above sea level at the foot of the Gran Sasso d’Italia, the town has shared the history of the Sicilian Valley, of which it was for centuries the main center under the rule of the Marquises Alarcón y Mendoza.
Stroll through the historic alleys of the center, visit ancient churches and enjoy nature trails through woods, rivers, and mountains. Tossicia is the perfect starting point for hikes, bike rides, climbing, or simply relaxing in the unspoiled nature of Gran Sasso.
