How to Get to Palazzo Ardinghelli #
Palazzo Ardinghelli sits in L’Aquila’s historic centre. From Rome, take the A24/E80 motorway east to the L’Aquila exit (L’Aquila Ovest), then follow signs into the centro storico; driving is not recommended during market hours. The city is also served by regional buses from Pescara and Rome; get off at the central bus station and walk 10-20 minutes to Piazza Duomo-area streets where the palazzo stands.
Tips for Visiting Palazzo Ardinghelli #
- Enter from the smaller side streets off Piazza Duomo to avoid the sun and see original stonework up close.
- Compare the patched masonry on the ground-floor arches - repairs from the 1703 quake and the 2009 restoration read like a palimpsest.
- If the door is open, look for worn shoe-smooth risers on the first steps; they often signal a private courtyard beyond the portone.
Best Time to Visit Palazzo Ardinghelli #
Best visited in spring or early autumn for mild weather and thinner crowds; heavy rain or winter snow can make the old stone streets slippery.
