Altavilla Silentina

Few communities in Campania have a history as closely bound to Norman settlement as Altavilla Silentina. Set on high ground above the Sele Valley, the town faces the Alburni Mountains, between the broad agricultural plain and Campania’s limestone uplands. Its name recalls the Hauteville, or Altavilla, dynasty, the Norman family that shaped southern Italy in the 11th century. The compact old centre retains a hill-town layout, with lanes climbing between homes and small religious buildings. Local life also remains closely connected to the farming traditions of the Sele plain. Move on to other webcams in Campania to compare the inland landscapes around the Sele Valley.
