Castellabate

Castellabate combines a fortified medieval core with a Tyrrhenian coastal setting in a way that reflects its position on the Cilento coast. The old town rises above the sea around Castello dell’Abate, founded in 1123 by the abbot Costabile Gentilcore; its lanes, arches and stone houses retain the form of a settlement built for defence. Below, the frazioni of Santa Maria and San Marco connect the municipality to beaches and small-harbour life on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Castellabate lies within Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of coastal habitats and inland hills.
