アチェッラの洞窟・トップ6

Unfortunately I didn't go out to enter the palace - I have to go back!

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.

Worth a visit...but without a bicycle!

TO visit, it is still possible to climb up one of the 4 towers for a view over the entire valley

The Royal Palace of Caserta is the symbol of the city. It was built at the behest of Charles Bourbon in 1752, since 1997 it has been a UNESCO heritage site.

Admission is free every first Sunday of the month, the combined ticket Garden+Palast normally costs 15 euros

Culture, history and a great park.

This castle was wanted by Tommaso II d'Aquino. Over the years it was the home of nobles, such as the Sicilian kings, but later also of brigands.
