Cycling

Venafro Castle takes its name from the Pandone family, ancient owners of this medieval manor which was later transformed into a noble palace in the sixteenth century.

Hiking

The frescoes and the modern art museum are definitely worth a visit. Tickets cost €6, and the complex is also open on Sundays (closed on Mondays). The visit lasts about an hour, if accompanied by the excellent volunteer guide included in the ticket.
