Accadia

⭐ 7.9

Rione Fossi, the 1462 siege, and pilgrimage to Monte Crispignano.

The 1462 siege began on July 21: King Ferdinand I of Aragon laid siege to the town, which held out for 19 days before being captured and burned. A historical costumed procession commemorates this every year between August 9 and 19. In 1694, a duke of the Recco family funded the construction of a chapel on the mountain, where pilgrims climb on the first Sunday of May. On the table, expect rustic peasant cuisine, with dishes like laghn’ e fasul’ (pasta with beans), and olive oil from local mills.
