Imposing and steep staircase that leads to the Guerritore Castle from the north side.

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.

Sicignano degli Alburni is a small town in the province of Salerno. Part of the municipality is inserted within the boundaries of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. Giusso Castle and the villages of Fontanella, Rupa and San Matteo still have many medieval features: a real leap into history!

The municipal territory of Sicignano degli Alburni rises between the Tanagro valley and the Alburni Mountains, and is largely included in the Cilento and Vallo di Diano national park.

Postiglione rises on the Alburni mountains and is part of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni national park. The origins of Postiglione go back to the tenth century when the inhabitants of ancient Paestum, forced by the incursions of the Saracens and Turkish pirates, to abandon their land, took refuge in this place considered suitable for defense. It is possible to visit the Norman castle of the eleventh century; the parish church of San Giorgio (14th century), built in the Middle Ages; the Sanctuary of the Ss. Annunziata and monastery of the Carmelites dating back to the 16th century; the Chapel of San Rocco (17th century), was built by some survivors of a cholera epidemic in 1656 as a tribute to the Saint; the Chapel of San Vito (16th century), is the oldest chapel in the town.

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
