Castel di Sangro, Mountain commune in Province of L'Aquila, Italy
Located at 805 meters elevation, Castel di Sangro stands at the meeting point of the Sangro river and Zittola stream in central Italy.
The area, known to Romans as Aufidena, was liberated by the West Nova Scotia Regiment of the First Canadian Division in November 1943.
The Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta contains late-mannerist wooden decorations and baroque paintings by Neapolitan artists Francesco De Mura and Domenico Vaccaro.
The town serves as a gateway to Abruzzo through major roads including the Sangro Valley road, SS 17, and the Isernia-Castel di Sangro highway.
The local football club progressed through five leagues to reach Serie B, inspiring the book 'The Miracle of Castel di Sangro' by Joe McGinniss.
