The Castle of Oliveto Citra, of which few walls are left standing due to the earthquake of November 23, 1980, although it does not appear frequently in the literature of significant castles in Irpinia, has an important significance. It stands out among the many examples of towns with castles, so widespread throughout the mountainous south, and this due to a particular natural and urban situation. At the top of the sloping village stands a high rock formation on which the current ruins rest, which dominate the whole surrounding valley. A beautiful frame of mountains forms the background between drawings of clouds that frequently linger there, contributing to a particularly suggestive effect. This magical beauty is perceived in an accentuated way along the beautiful vertical country; the chain of small squares at its first peak, then, the mysterious avenue beyond the gate, not surprisingly the site of the recent apparitions of the Madonna.
