 castle, interesting place
The main attraction of Campobasso is the Castello Monforte, built in 1459 by the local ruler Nicola II Monforte, over Lombard or Norman ruins. The castle lies on a commanding point on top of a hill, where traces of ancient settlements (including Samnite walls) have been found. The current construction is the result of rebuildings after the earthquakes of 1456 and 1805.
