Preci

Preci grew up inside a fortress in the mountainous Castoriana valley, and from the late Middle Ages it was known for a school of surgeons who removed kidney stones. The October 2016 earthquakes left the old centre unusable and damaged the abbey of Sant'Eutizio, but part of the village reopened in 2019 and the abbey's façade has been pieced back together from its original stones.

Highlights
