Castellafiume is a small town in the province of L'Aquila, in Abruzzo. A charming village from the eighteenth-nineteenth century structure built at the foot of the Simbruini mountains, on the banks of the Liri river, the largest waterway of the Marsica. 

The etymology of its name comes from the Latin "Castrum fluminis", or castle on the river Liri located at the confluence with the Rio Sonno (or Riosondoli).

Castellafiume is a village of ancient origins, with an interesting artistic heritage to offer its visitors, a perfect combination of art and nature.  The visit to the historic center can start with the parish church of San Nicola di Bari, symbol of the village, surrounded by buildings mainly of the seventeenth-eighteenth century. Built in the Middle Ages by the Benedictines of Monteccassino, the church has been modified several times, as evidenced by the different stylistic or architectural elements present.

Castellafiume is also known for its typical and traditional cuisine, offering characteristic dishes such as lamb.
