The Valle Peligna, also known as Conca di Sulmona, is a plateau in central Abruzzo, southern Italy, included in the province of L'Aquila. It has a surface of some 100 km2.
The valley takes its name from the
Popoli. Three hills near Sulmona
are the relics of the single island in the lake.
The valley is crossed by the rivers
Aterno and Sagittario. In addition to Sulmona, the main centers in the plateau include Raiano, Vittorito, Corfinio, Pratola Peligna and Pacentro.[citation needed
