It lies in a state of total abandonment and yet it enchants and captures the attention of anyone who finds themselves, even just passing through, in its surroundings. It is the Maddaloni Castle that dominates the entire surrounding area from a height and is visible from every corner of the city in all its almost spectral charm. The building, located about 170 meters above sea level, is of Norman origin, although it has a more remote connotation. In fact, Titus Livius, in recounting the Hannibal events, cites a castrum as a fortified garrison of ancient Calatia. Presumably the Roman historian was referring precisely to the Maddaloni Castle. An explicit reference to its existence is found only in a register of 1099 cited as "Castrum Kalato Maddala". It was in the Norman era that the village acquired more and more importance and the castle was used as a meeting place.

Limatola is a town near Caserta along the Volturno river valley. It is renowned for its Norman castle, built in the 12th century and remodeled in the Renaissance. Today there is also a hotel-restaurant inside.

A city certainly rich in history located in the province of Benevento on the border with the province of Caserta at the foot of Monte Taburno. The ducal castle dating back to the Lombard era is very beautiful.

The Tower of Casertavecchia is part of the village which was under Lombard dominion. The particular position, thanks to the protection of the mountains, has made Casertavecchia a refuge for the populations during the incursion of the Saracens.

The castle of Casertavecchia is the main fortified place and military defense of the homonymous village of Caserta, the only one to have survived in legible forms in part and or completely having disappeared the city walls mentioned in the historical sources.

Casertavecchia (fraction of Caserta) is a medieval village that rises on the slopes of the Tifatini mountains at about 401 meters high and 10 km away in the north-east direction from Caserta. The origins of Casertavecchia are still uncertain, but according to some information extrapolated from a writing by the Benedictine monk Erchemperto, already in the year 861 AD. there was an urban nucleus called "Casahirta" (from the Latin casa meaning village and hirta meaning harsh). The village has undergone various dominations over the course of history.

From Caserta I can absolutely recommend a visit. The mtbk is the best way to be able to see it all and in all its wonder. From there you can push yourself up to Monte Virgo or Monte Baccalà and the wonder and amazement will be great. Technical but wonderful paths and stony ground.
