Castello Normanno di Avella

The monumental complex of the Castle of Avella occupies a hill with steep sides situated on the right of the river Clanis; the Avella mountains separate the Avellano-Baianese area from the Valle Caudina. The site enjoys a strategic position to control the surrounding area.

The top of the hill (320 m asl) is occupied by the structures of the fortress, dominated by the cylindrical tower. Two city walls, developing at different heights, surround the slopes of the hill. Ten half-towers are preserved in the circuit.
