A little-known but very evocative place. Here you can admire the ancient walls of a Lombard-era castle and a beautiful 360-degree view of the town of Acerno and the surrounding peaks. Following the CAI trail, you can reach the highest point of the Tempa. More information here: https://www.comune.acerno.sa.it/gallerie/patrimonio-storico-culturale/resti-tempa-castello/

From the paths to the left of the Tusciano, such as the "path of the monk Bernardo" it is possible to see, in the distance, the ruins of the Castle of Olevano.

The defensive building is set between two natural rock towers in a locality in the hamlet of Felitto, in an inaccessible place that dominates the entire valley below. The fortress was surrounded by a triple wall, the first of which can still be identified by some fragments incorporated in the current urbanization; the second, halfway up the slope, still has the watchtowers and the entrance to the Castrum intact; the third with two quadrangular towers was placed to guard the central nucleus built at maximum height. In the factories, the re-use of clay fragments and previous constructions is visible. The various rooms in which the inhabitants' daily activities took place are still clearly evident: three cisterns for collecting rainwater, halls, service area, halls, suspended arches and more. Between the second and third walls, the vast residential settlement can still be identified, positioned on a vast, mainly flat surface. In this area the ruins of a Christian church outline the small nave and the apse.

A short and steep climb leads to the belvedere above the Castelluccio which offers a splendid panorama overlooking the Sele plain as far as the sea.

It was rebuilt at the beginning of the Norman domination and is mentioned in documents as "Domus domini imperatoris in Ebulo" and considered one of the most important of the Middle Ages. Its reconstruction dates back to the second half of the 11th century, probably at the time of the feudal dominion of the first lord of Eboli, Guglielmo d’Altavilla, brother of Roberto il Guiscardo, Prince of Salerno. https://comune.eboli.sa.it/contenuti/89712/castello-colonna
