Centro Polivalente Agorà in Arquata del Tronto: location

The center stands in Borgo, the lower part of Arquata del Tronto, which grew up outside the walls of the medieval core, near the town's new school. In the three-stage version of the Grande Anello di Arquata, it is the overnight stop at the end of the third stage. For the four-stage version, the managing association explains that there are still no beds in Pretare, because reconstruction has not started, and suggests continuing along the SP89, past Piedilama, to Borgo, where the center is, or on to Trisungo. The center also appears on the Cammino nelle Terre Mutate, as the end point of a stage.
