The Castle of Lettere was built by the Duchy of Amalfi during the 10th century to defend its northern borders and was part of a network of fortifications that ensured the Amalfi people control of the two sides of the Lattari mountains. The site, in fact, still enjoys a splendid panoramic position that allowed you to control the area from the port of Castellammare to the mouth of the Sarno and the entire Gulf of Naples, but also the Sarno Valley dominated by Vesuvius and the Sarno mountains up to to Pagani-

The castle of Lettere was a military structure of Lettere in use from the 10th century until the end of the Aragonese domination; after a period of neglect, which reduced it to a ruin, it was restored and made open to visitors
