Apice

Apice is a municipality in the Province of Benevento, located in the Campania region at approximately 225 meters elevation. The territory combines residential neighborhoods, farmland, and several smaller hamlets that together form a rural community.

The original settlement of Apice Vecchio was abandoned following severe earthquakes, prompting the establishment of a new community nearby. This relocation fundamentally shaped the history and development of the modern municipality.

The municipality maintains traditional Sunday markets where residents gather to exchange local products and participate in community activities.

The location is accessible via local roads from surrounding towns and offers basic services for daily needs. The rural setting means visitors should plan for drives to nearby Benevento if seeking more extensive activities or services.

The territory includes several smaller village cores such as San Donato, San Martino, and Santa Lucia, each preserving its own local identity. This decentralized structure allows visitors to explore different small communities with distinct local characteristics.
