Piedimonte Matese

Built around a medieval fortified settlement, Piedimonte Matese grew into the principal town on the southern slopes of Campania’s Matese massif. Limestone mountains rise behind the town, while the Volturno valley opens towards the south, placing it between upland terrain and the agricultural plain of inland Caserta. Its older quarters climb the hillside in narrow lanes, retaining the compact layout of a community shaped by defence and mountain routes. Piedimonte Matese is also a useful base for the Matese area, where woods, high pastures and lakes present a very different side of Campania from its coastal cities.
