The setting of this natural lake (of karst origin) makes it a fascinating place to stop for a break, perhaps chat with a local, or simply enjoy nature. It's well-maintained and often populated by rather arrogant wildlife.

Founded in the 7th century by the Lombards, the Benevento Cathedral reached its zenith in the 12th-13th centuries when it was rebuilt in the Romanesque style and adorned with its famous bronze doors. Tragically, the cathedral was almost completely destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943, though its greatest treasure—the bronze doors—was saved. After the war, the cathedral was reconstructed in a modern Romanesque style and reconsecrated in 1965, becoming a powerful symbol of the city's resilience where visitors can still see the surviving original façade, the bell tower, and the rescued doors.

Excellently organized park with a cafe. It also has a very refreshing water fountain and a solar-panel bench where you can charge your smartphone. Congratulations to the municipality 👍👍👍

Komoot will guide u aswell with Roadbike to that "road" for a shortcut. I really recommend you to stay on the main road. It is more hiking than biking. 25% steep climbs without any grip. There is no road!

Alife boasts an ecclesiastical history dating back to 499. Located in Sannio, at the foot of the Matese, it is known as the "city of the onion" for the historic cultivation of this vegetable since Roman times.
