Turning point towards Monte Felino for the sanctuary of S.Angelo a Palombara

A city certainly rich in history located in the province of Benevento on the border with the province of Caserta at the foot of Monte Taburno. The ducal castle dating back to the Lombard era is very beautiful.

Mount Pentime offers a breathtaking view. It is located at 1168 meters high. There is a metal cross. Very impressive especially at dawn.

The cave, located in the rocks of Monte Taburno, was already used as a place of worship in the Middle Ages. Inside there is a fresco from 1601, making this cave not only interesting from a geological and historical point of view, but also from an artistic point of view.

Turn right to take the CAI 200 path towards Monte Felino and the Sanctuary of S. Angelo in Palombara.

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.
