Stone tools testify human presence in this place during prehistoric times. Serra Castellaccio were found in sections of polygonal walls today are no longer visible. In Roman times it seems that the place was not inhabited. The first historical mention is represented by Diploma Grimoaldo II, Duke of Benevento dating from 724.
In the eleventh century, the original core of the country went to buy the typical features of the village perched sull'altura central compared to arable land and pasture areas. The old town is still identifiable and has an urban collection, with homes that overlook a road system on the original lattice, made of a narrow staircase, typical of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and with a wall (townhouses ) northwest of the ancient defensive deployment. Still see the doors that allowed access to the village: the fifteenth Antonetta door and the door near Palazzo Sardis. War and earthquakes (like the earthquake of 1915), however, have spared important architectural relics such as the Baronial Palace to the nearby Church of St. Anne and the beautiful eighteenth-century Church of Suffrage. Remember also, for the devotion felt called upon by the peoples of the plateau, is the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Portella. Tourism in Rivisondoli began to develop soon after the arrival in the country of the Kings of Italy, in 1913 enhancing its flows significantly after the Second World War, with the consolidation of the town as a center of summer vacation and ski resort. The lifts and slopes of Monte Pratello form with the Aremogna and Pizzalto Roccaraso a prime resort in the Italian landscape. To make known the name of increasingly Rivisondoli, gave great contribution to the design since 1951, the charming Nativity. Famous event is the live nativity scene, nativity tableaux representation of Jesus, which is staged on January 5, since 1951. According to tradition, the newest of the country plays the little boy, although in some years for the significant decline of births has had to resort to the twinning with some other countries as in 1993 when, following the twinning with the child came directly from Bethlehem Holy Land.
