The ruins of ancient Cirella are fantastic and well worth a visit. A place that smells of history with a beautiful landscape.
The ruins of Cirella are the remains of the ancient village perched on a hill at about 172 meters altitude.
The town was built from the year 850, in the middle of the Lombard period, on a hilly position to protect the population from the constant raids of the Saracens.
It was finally abandoned in 1808 after being destroyed by General Massena's French troops.

The best place to park is the Teatro parking lot. It's free and only a two-minute walk to the ruins.
