Cervinara, Medieval town in Avellino Province, Italy

Located on a fertile plateau near the Partenio mountains, Cervinara spreads across 29 square kilometers between Naples and Benevento at 284 meters altitude.

The settlement originated between the 9th and 10th centuries when local populations gathered around a fortified castle built to protect against Saracen invasions.

The Abbey of San Gennaro, established around 800 AD in the Ferrari district, stands as the oldest religious structure in the municipality.

The town center, Piazza Trescine, connects twelve distinct districts including Castello, Ferrari, Ioffredo, Pantanari, and Valle, each with their own characteristics.

A 20-meter-tall public art sculpture titled 'La chiave di Cervinara' was installed in 2017, making it the largest folded key monument in existence.
