In front of the Castle it is possible to visit the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Monte, dating back to 1354. However, a pre-existing chapel must already have existed, as evidenced by a Vatican document which speaks of the diocese of Boiano, in which Campobasso was included: it speaks of the existing churches in 1241, and this chapel of the "Madonna dei Monti" is thus mentioned. The context of the document leads back to King Frederick II of Swabia.
