Bisaccia, Medieval commune in Campania, Italy
Bisaccia is a hilltop village in the Province of Avellino nestled in the southern Apennine foothills. The settlement rises high above the surrounding countryside and is marked by the Ducal Castle, which overlooks the landscape.
The region was originally settled by the Samnites before Romans destroyed the ancient settlement of Romulea. In medieval times, Normans and later rulers built the fortress that gave the area its distinctive character.
The Civic Archaeological Museum in the Ducal Castle displays objects created by the Oliveto-Cairano culture that once thrived in this region. The collections allow visitors to discover the daily life and craftsmanship of these ancient people.
The village is best explored on foot since the narrow arrangement of streets makes a slow exploration possible. A visit to the castle should be planned ahead since it opens at specific times, and the museum exhibits are best understood with a local guide.
The Ducal Castle still houses a Renaissance structure with a distinctive tower visible from a distance that shapes the village's appearance. This architectural element shows the blend of medieval fortifications with later refined design.
