- History & archaeology
Parco Archeologico di Monte Cila
Piedimonte Matese (CE)
Five semicircles of megalithic walls, seven kilometres in all, raised in the 7th century BC and then forgotten in the myrtle scrub. From up there the Samnites watched the same plain you are watching.
MuseumsMUCIRAMA — Museo Civico Raffaele Marrocco
Piedimonte Matese (CE)
In the former convent of San Tommaso d'Aquino sleep the Runner and the Zeus of Cila: Samnite bronzes pulled out of the mountain just above. A free museum nobody expects in a mountain town.
- Sacred art
Chiesa dell'Ave Gratia Plena
Piedimonte Matese (CE)
A Gothic jewel wedged into the old town, with the Sanframondo chapel and its fifteenth-century frescoes. You step through an anonymous door and find yourself in the Quattrocento.
