L'Aquila

Imagine a city sitting on a hill, surrounded by giant, snowy mountains! That's L'Aquila! It's in a country called Italy, way up high.

The mountains are so tall, they look like they're touching the clouds. A big river called the Aterno flows nearby. The city is wrapped in old walls, like a castle, and has winding streets that are fun to explore.

It's a beautiful place where nature and buildings live together.
