The Tholos huts are built of dry stone, with arched roof used as shelters by shepherds and farmers. Present on the mountains of Maiella and Gran Sasso for about 250 years, are a testimony to the agro-pastoral civilization.
Regione Abruzzo, by special decree, encourages the maintenance and preservation of these huts.
