Roccamandolfi is known as the village of brigands. Numerous excursions start from here. The town is famous for the presence of the Tibetan bridge and the ancient Maginulfo Castle.

Nature, history, culture: those who visit Roccamandolfi are spoiled for choice.
The country, in fact, offers interesting elements in all three areas. From a landscape point of view, its territory undoubtedly boasts characteristics that distinguish it from other Municipalities.
To begin with, within its borders rises the most extreme point of Monte Miletto, the highest peak of the Matese chain.
Added to this is the presence of several spectacular waterfalls and the beautiful plateau of Campitello di Roccamandolfi. Meta, the latter, privileged for excursions and picnics, especially in the summer.
Here the traditional Festa del Pastore takes place, which from the 70s to today remains one of the most awaited events of the Molise summer. A rural festival that takes place between milking and shearing tests, musical entertainment and, above all, typical local dishes, based on meat - mostly sheep - and cheeses.
Alongside the charm of an environmental context that is still wild and uncontaminated, the village in the province of Pentra can count on a particularly interesting past.
Historically, in fact, it is known for having been the homeland of some of the most famous brigands of the nineteenth century.
To these attractions, another one has recently been added which has greatly contributed to making the country known and encouraging the arrival of visitors: the Tibetan bridge.
As for scenic beauty, Roccamandolfi is second to none, neither in terms of typology nor in the variety of elements that can be found there.
It is no coincidence that in 2003 a part of its territory, with a total extension of about 50 hectares, was declared a protected area.
We are talking about the magnificent Torrente Callora nature reserve, an obligatory destination for hiking and canyoning enthusiasts, which however deserves to be included in travel itineraries even by simple nature lovers.
It takes its name from the stream that crosses it, which has a particularly important flow in the winter months. It flows inside a fissure in the rock and, along its path, gives rise to rapids and waterfalls.
In the Reserve there are suggestive gorges, numerous cliffs, a gorge, valleys, a wooded area that climbs up to the slopes of the castle and a meadow area with areas dedicated to pastures.
