Mennella Castle is an ancient castrum (fortress) located in the "Le Mura" area of Filignano, in the Volturno Valley, in Upper Molise. It is a fortified hilltop settlement of early medieval origin, with likely earlier roots, recognizable today through the remains of walls, a tower, and structures uncovered during archaeological excavations conducted between the late 1990s and early 2000s. The site served a strategic purpose in controlling the valley's transit routes and represents one of the most significant examples of the system of castles and walled villages in the County of Molise.

The frescoes and the modern art museum are definitely worth a visit. Tickets cost €6, and the complex is also open on Sundays (closed on Mondays). The visit lasts about an hour, if accompanied by the excellent volunteer guide included in the ticket.

very pretty little city

The Market Tower represented one of the main points of the city's defense system. Adjacent was the main door for those coming from Sannio.

The old village was a pleasant surprise!

The beautiful Liberty building overlooks the spring water lake, first a mill, then a power plant and cinema, today it is a multifunctional centre

Venafro Castle takes its name from the Pandone family, ancient owners of this medieval manor which was later transformed into a noble palace in the sixteenth century.

A small and little-known village surrounded by greenery. The archaeological findings, such as the polygonal walls on Monte Cerino, Monte S. Croce and in the nearby Monte Sammucro suggest that it was inhabited since the times of the Samnites and the ancient name "Valle del campo" refers precisely to the defensive function of the Sannio. In the town centre, the church of Sant'Antonio di Padova, the remains of the site and the church of Santa Caterina, of the Convent of San Domenico, the remains of a watchtower and those of a Samnite settlement are worth seeing.
