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.

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.
