Tips

Giuseppe Lomartire

January 20, 2025

Park from which you can admire the Federiciano Castle of Oria, with terraces and shady spaces where you can stay cool and perhaps read a good book

Giuseppe Lomartire

January 20, 2025

The area that is now a magnificent park, was originally a plot of land left uncultivated that was transformed in the first half of the 18th century by the Celestine Fathers, of the nearby convent, into a beautiful and suggestive garden sloping down into several terraces and used as a think tank and orchard.

With the Kingdom of Italy, following the suppression of the religious orders (1866/1867), the place was purchased by the Salerno - Mele family who with great taste enriched it with several plants of exotic origin and numerous flower beds, organizing and arranging it partly as an Italian garden and partly as an English garden, thus creating a pleasant naturalistic path with panoramic views from which even today you can admire a magnificent landscape.

A series of steps guides the visitor to an enchanting panoramic walk that connects two towers of the adjacent Norman - Swabian Castle: from the Torre del Salto to the Torre dello Sperone.

The Salerno - Mele family later donated it to the Bishop of Oria. It remained abandoned for many years and in 1982 it was purchased by the Municipal Administration of Oria which brought it back to its original splendor.
