Places to Visit: VILLAGE OF GESSO, GESSOPALENA (5 km, 12 min by car) Description: The ancient village of Gessopalena, also known as the “village of silence,” is situated on the eastern slope of the Majella. The name derives from the Latin “gesso” due to the presence in the area of crystalline rocks from which gypsum is extracted. In the village, you can visit and admire houses built entirely from this type of stone.
