The Palazzo Mediceo is a historic structure built in the Lombard era before the year 1000 in Ottaviano, a municipality in the province of Naples, and later belonged to a branch of the Florentine Medici family. In the second half of the 20th century it ended up in the hands of the Camorra, and was then returned to the city of Ottaviano in 1995.

A beautiful, high-lying castle with a charming park all around. The administration of the Vesuvio National Park is located in the gatehouse at the entrance.

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

Very suggestive and mysterious. Be very careful when entering because it would be unsafe, but you can also see the various rooms of the castle with the fireplaces and the cellars.

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.

The Castle of Arienzo "Castem Vetus" which dominates Mons Argentium, known today as Monte Castello, dates back to the 7th century and was built by the Lombards to first defend the Duchy and then the Principality of Benevento. Due to its strategic position, the castle was a lookout post over the entire valley below. From 879/882, the city of Suessola was raided and destroyed by the Saracens. After the destruction of the city, following a fire, part of the Suessolani took refuge on Mount Argentarium, where there was a castle. In 1135 King Ruggero II D'Altavilla, known as the Norman, asked for it to be demolished. The latter, having to leave for Sicily, feared that in his absence the soldiers of Rainulfo could settle in the fortress and control the vast territory from above. His order was only partially carried out and later the castle was rebuilt by his son Guglielmo. From 1135, after the destruction of the Arienzo castle, the inhabitants went down to the valley where they built the new Castle of Arienzo, known as "the Terra Murata". The castles of Arpaia, Cancello, Maddaloni, Casertavecchia were built on the highest peaks of the surrounding mountains.

The castle of Matinale, or castle of Rudovaco, is a castle of Cancello, a fraction of the municipality of San Felice a Cancello, in the province of Caserta. It stands on an elevation overlooking the entrance to the Suessola valley. The construction of the castle of Matinale is attributed to Tommaso II d'Aquino, count of Acerra, on the occasion of his wedding with Margherita di Svevia, illegitimate daughter of Emperor Frederick II, a wedding which took place before 1247. The bride's dowry included the fiefdom di Suessola, to which the Cancello hamlet also belonged. According to local tradition [2] an original Lombard fortification of the ninth century would have been the work of a certain Rudovaco and would have passed on his death to the count of Acerra, Cullezio. He wanted to join his castle of Acerra to that of Cancello with an underground path, causing the ruin of the western side and was unable to restore it following his death in battle. The castle was later restored or rebuilt by the Norman Ramperto and again by the Mattaloni counts in the 12th century. The castle hosted the kings of Sicily Guglielmo il Malo (1131-1166) and Manfredi di Svevia (1232-1266) and the Dukes of Rebursa and again, in the Angevin period, King Ladislao I and the Carafa in the Aragonese period. In the 15th century it was abandoned, having lost its military function. It was the seat of an inn and probably housed an archpriest church dedicated to St. Thomas the Apostle. In 1799 the French general Jean Étienne Championnet established his headquarters there and later became a den of brigands. It was donated at the beginning of the twentieth century by the D'Aquino family, princes of Caramanico, to the baron Giovanni Barracco. During the Second World War it hosted the allied command in 1943.
