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.
