Sulmona (Abruzzese: Sulmóne; Latin: Sulmo) is a comune (municipality) in the province of L'Aquila, in the Italian region of Abruzzo. It is located in the Valle Peligna, a plain once occupied by a lake that disappeared in prehistoric times. In the ancient era, it was one of the most important cities of the Paeligni and is known for being the native town of the Roman poet Ovid, of whom there is a bronze statue, located on the town's main road.

The closest airport is Abruzzo Airport, which is 43 miles away. The closest beach is in Pescara, which is 49 miles. Two hospitals in town are Ospedale Civile di Sulmona and Unita' Sanitaria Locale Avezzano Sulmona, though there are many other medical center options available.
