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

Easily reachable from Campobasso, it is a meeting place for sports lovers

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.

The medieval city and capital of Molise is located at 700 meters above sea level. Campobasso (Campuasce in dialect) is dominated by the Monforte castle which stands at the top of the hill. Other important monuments to see are the cathedral of the Holy Trinity and the church of Sant'Antonio Abate.

The Biferno river is the only river that flows entirely in Molise. 93 kilometers long, it originates on Mount Matese and flows into the Adriatic Sea in Termoli.

Located along the valley of the Biferno river, the village of Torella del Sannio stands on a hill. The castle built in the 10th century is worth a visit where you can see the permanent exhibition of the Neapolitan painter Elena Ciamarra.

The village of Duronia is located on the ancient Lucera-Castel di Sangro sheep track. The village has undergone great depopulation and currently there are around 400 inhabitants. In the historic center you can spot the ruins of the medieval castle.

Civitanova del Sannio is located in the heart of Molise. The town is nestled in the mountains, surrounded by beech forests and with the Trigno river nearby. In August, sausage and cavatelli festivals are held, a typical pasta of this area.
