Manoppello is a beautiful, small town, located on the top of a hill. It is 257 metres above sea level and affords panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Inhabited since pre-roman times, it now attracts both pilgrims and art lovers alike. There are many 18-19th century civic buildings and churches, constructed and characterised with ‘pietra di Manoppello', the renowned local stone. The town is probably most famous for its Holy Relic, a piece of cloth which supposedly bears an image of Christ-s face. It is kept in the Santuario del Volto Santo.

Manoppello has a range of facilities including a mini-market, bakery, pharmacy and post office. There are also bars and restaurants serving local delicacies.

It is an ideal base for those wishing to enjoy outdoor life and participate in open-air activities. The Maiella National Park is close by, providing many exciting adventures together with winter sports at the ski resort of Passo Lanciano.
