The monumental complex of the Monte, consisting of a church, monastery, archaeological garden and castle, rises just above Montella, a small town in the heart of the green Irpinia. Of great historical interest is the site of the 10th century Lombard castle with the adjacent settlement dating back to the 6th-7th century. Excavations conducted in the 1980s have brought to light finds from the Lombard and early medieval times, including coins and fragments of frescoes, as well as burials dating back to the same period. Today the central body (tower or donjon), the surrounding walls and the ruins of the rooms of the nobility are visible. In 1293 Charles II of Anjou confiscated the castle to make it a place for recreation. King Charles II was responsible for the construction of the cistern and the water channeling system. In the fourteenth century, at the behest of the d'Aquino, feudal lords of Montella, the twelfth-century tower was renovated and works to improve the building were carried out, with the creation of pictorial decorations. The castle was inhabited by the Cavaniglia counts in the 15th century, and during their lordship it hosted a memorable hunting expedition in 1445 in which King Alfonso the Magnanimous took part. The church has a single nave with side chapels. The wooden altars are of great value. In one of the side chapels there is an important thirteenth-century wooden altarpiece depicting the "Madonna dell'umiltà". The monastery was built between 1554 and 1586 on the pre-existing church at Monte di Pietà, by the Monte di Pietà di Montella, founded and administered by the Congrega del SS. Sacrament of Montella. It was entrusted to the Minimi Reformed Conventuals of S. Francesco replaced in 1603 by the reformed Observants. In 1613 a community of 12 fathers and several lay brothers lived in the convent. The feudal lord Antonio Grimaldi, in 1642, donated the garden adjacent to the convent, former dependence of the castle, to the Monte di Pietà. It has undergone several changes over the centuries: the structure has a square plan and the typical cloister with cross vaults frescoed in the seventeenth century by Michele Ricciardi. Completely recovered and made usable, the upper floors could be used for spiritual retreats, while it is still possible to visit the cells. The lower rooms, where the life of the friars took place, can be visited in full by taking advantage of the routes prepared also by means of illustrative panels present in each area. The convent garden is located in the open space adjacent to the castle; it has been recovered and the same crops from the Middle Ages that gave sustenance to the monks have been planted there. The entire monumental complex of the Monte, restored and open to visitors, is the property of the Santissimo Sacramento di Montella Archconfraternity

Immersed in the Bosco di Serino, in the locality of Ogliara, on a small plateau bordered by the river Sabato, there is a wall with a circumference of about 2 kilometers, known as “Civita di Ogliara”. According to an ancient tradition that began with Cluverio, in the seventeenth century, the "Civita di Ogliara" would be the walls of the city of "Sabazia", capital of the Samnites of Irpinia and from which the Sabatini would take their name. Cluverio writes: “Of the rivers that starting from the territory of the Irpini flow into the Volturno, the first is the Sabatus river, now commonly called Sabato. This river had this name from so ancient times that the Sabatini population took its name from it ... It seems that there was a fortified place near the river, called Sabazia, from which its inhabitants took the name of Sabatini . Where they were is uncertain. However, it is believed that this place was located between two fortified towns, which are commonly called Terranova and Prata ”. The myth is fueled by Bella Bona who claims that "Sabatia" was founded by a mythical progenitor of Noah who survived the universal flood named Sabatio and that the city was located in the valley between the mountains of Serino in the place called Ogliara, with citizens Sabatini. The myth also envelops what is said of its destruction; some authors say that "Sabatia" was destroyed by Hannibal during the Second Punic War, others, on the contrary, argue that it was destroyed by the Romans to punish the Sabatini who became Hannibal's allies, others still want it destroyed by Silla at the time of Social War (89 BC). Beyond the myth, no historical source from Tito Livio to other ancient writers has ever mentioned the existence of the city of "Sabatia" and nettampoco the link between this city and the walls of the Ogliara area. Even the historian Francesco Scandone has excluded this correlation, arguing, instead, that the "Civita di Ogliara" is a stronghold dating back to the time of the civil war between Count Siconolfo and Radelchi for the dominion of the Duchy of Benevento, wanted by Radelchi to to prevent the advance of an enemy army which from Salerno could have invaded the valley of Sabato. The hypothesis advanced by Scandone was confirmed by various archaeologists who were interested in the walls and towers of Civita Ogliara, starting with Woolley and ending at Pasquale Natella. https://www.sguardisullirpinia.it/guide-turistiche-360/serino/visita-serino/civita-di-ogliara.html
