Bisaccia, Medieval commune in Campania, Italy

Bisaccia rises 860 meters above sea level in the Province of Avellino, extending over 101 square kilometers of mountainous territory near Calvario Mountain.

The Romans destroyed the original Samnite settlement of Romulea in 296 BC, and later Emperor Frederick II used the castle as a hunting residence.

The Civic Archaeological Museum within the Ducal Castle displays an extensive collection of indigenous female artifacts from the Oliveto-Cairano culture dating back to 800 BC.

The municipality initiated a program enabling the purchase of houses for one euro, provided buyers commit to renovating these properties according to local regulations.

The Ducal Castle features a 12-meter tower, Renaissance loggia, and houses museum collections that document the regional prehistoric settlements from 2300 BC.
