Province of Benevento

The province spreads across 2,080 square kilometers of diverse terrain between mountains, hills, and fertile valleys in southern Italy.

The territory preserves the legacy of ancient Beneventum, established as a Roman colony in 268 BCE at the intersection of multiple trade routes.

The province contains 78 municipalities rich in architectural landmarks, including the Arch of Trajan and the Santa Sofia Church in Benevento.

Located 50 kilometers northeast of Naples, the province connects to major cities through regional roads and maintains agricultural production of olives and wine.

The Church of Santa Sofia, built in 760 CE, features an exceptional hexagonal design and houses the Museo del Sannio with regional artifacts.
