The Borgo Antico of Senerchia, also known as the "Ghost Village", is what remains of the ancient inhabited center of the Irpinian town, located near the Ruins of the Castle.

Dating back to the Middle Ages, the village was founded between the 8th and 9th centuries, developing near the fortress built by the Longobards, of which only some portions of the boundary walls and the cylindrical tower remain today, at a height of 600 metres, overhanging the valley below, to then extend downwards, where the new urban center currently stands. Life and time, in this small historical fragment, stopped at 19:34 of that tragic November 23, 1980, the date of the devastating seismic event that severely injured Senerchia as well, tearing it apart with deep evident signs, still today, in the cracks of the old inhabited and well impressed in the memories of those who lived through those tragic moments.
