-ABRUZZO HERITAGE-
~ SULMONA (AQ). SATUARIO DI ERCOLE CUR-
INO~
ON THE Morrone massif, which dominates the
Peligni valley, there are situated the impressive ru-
ins of a sanctuary dedicated to Hercules, one of
the best loved divinities of ancient popular religion
the monumental sacred area, built between the
2ned and 1st. Centuries B. C. , is characterized by
two large terraces connected by a double flight of
steps, following a scenographic plan of great ef-
fect. The upper terrace, supported by a polygonal wall, holds a small building
decorated inside with beautiful mosaic flooring with a central rosette surrounded
by designs of vegetables, waves, dolphins, and crenellated towers. The walls still
conserve the plaster painted to imitate panels of marble. At the beginning of the
1st. Century B. C. the whole area was involved in important monumentalizing con-
struction operations that gave the sanctuary the architectural layout visible today.
On that occasion, apart from the interior decorating of the little sacellu, the lower
terrace was built with walls in cement like material and the facing in uncertain
quasi reticulated work. The 14 barrel vaulted room, now collapsed, situated on the
lower terrace, must have been service spaces fro the commercial functions of the
sanctuary; for example, trade fairs, and markets that were periodically held there. It
was perhaps a landslip in 2nd. Century A. D. that put an end to the life of the
sanctuary.
