The historic center is beautiful and rises up to the Monforte castle.

Almost nothing is reliably known about the life of Saint George, to whom the church of Campobasso was dedicated, but the veneration of his person goes back to early Christianity. A martyr identified with George is said to have lived in the third century. However, the legend of St. George as a dragon slayer is well known and widespread; he is usually depicted - in paintings or as a statue - as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback. The memorial day of the very popular George - he is, among other things, patron of the English kingdom - in the calendar of saints is April 23rd.

Campobasso is the capital of the Molise Region, an Apennine town full of greenery where there is no shortage of places to visit. The historic center contains the main tourist attractions, a visit by bike is not very feasible due to the stairways typical of the ancient villages of central Italy, but the distances are very short so it is possible to move around easily on foot. Despite this, among the various places the Monforte Castle stands out, reachable by bike from a completely asphalted climb. Worthy of note are the Sannitico Provincial Museum and the Museum of the Mysteries, the latter preserves throughout the year the "Mysteries" or processional machines, allegorical-religious scenic structures that allow figures to parade and be carried on their shoulders through the streets of city on Corpus Domini Sunday. The city offers fine public fountains where you can stop for a break and then leave again. Leaving the city it is easy to reach other small villages within a few kilometers while enjoying the hilly panorama that connects the various centres.

Campobasso, a city rich in history and culture.

The church of San Giorgio is the oldest church in Campobasso and according to some the oldest in the entire province, and is also the church dedicated to the city's patron saint.

It is located at 1025m above sea level among beech woods. It was founded by the Cistercians or by the Templars in the 9th century. It was restored in the 20th century and consists of a church which was once a small monastery also used as a shelter for wayfarers.

The hermitage of Sant'Egidio is an ancient monastery on the eastern side of the Matese above the town of Bojano. It consists of a church with a single nave with a statue of the saint and is flanked by a mountain refuge equipped with picnic tables and a spring for water.
