Museo del capriolo

About the museum

The museum is dedicated to the roe deer, one of the emblematic animals of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, and was opened on 2 May 2010, when the wildlife area reserved for the species reopened. It is located along Strada Provinciale 17, which within the town is called Via Roma, and is run as a visitor centre by the association Montagna Grande.

The exhibition describes the animal's characteristics, habits and evolution through scientific documents, information panels, dioramas, a stuffed specimen and casts of footprints found in the Park. Films about the Park's animals are also shown, mainly for school and scout groups.

In the outdoor area a short path leads to a wildlife enclosure where roe deer live in semi-freedom. Other nature and historical-cultural trails allow walks or mountain bike rides towards the Valle della Fossa and the Valle delle Prata, on the Montagna Grande range.
