The comole are two chasms, one larger and one smaller, which are located near Monte Fioralito. They were generated by the subsidence of the land due to water erosion. It is a very particular and unique karst phenomenon in Campania.

The "Comole" of Castel Morrone are among the most interesting karst phenomena. They are made up of two craters located on the side of a hill called Monte Fioralito, in the center of the Tifatini mountain range.

"COMOLA SMALL" > This crater requires the utmost attention because it is covered by thick shrubby vegetation, making it difficult to identify and, therefore, very dangerous because it can happen that you suddenly find yourself on the edge with the risk of falling. This Comola has the shape of a demijohn with an opening of about 30 meters in diameter, it is about 100 meters deep while the cave-like bottom is almost 50 meters wide in diameter and has a surface area of over 1250 m2.

"COMOLA GRANDE" > This Comola, although less dangerous than the previous one, is certainly more spectacular because it creates a strong emotion when you find yourself in front of an enormous crater that literally splits the side of the hill for about 250 m. in diameter, with a circumference of almost 800 m. and a depth ranging from over 280 m., measured at the upper edge, to about 150 at the lower edge.
