Castel Volturno

Castel Volturno is a coastal town in Caserta Province that stretches along the Tyrrhenian Sea. It features long sandy beaches and the mouth of the Volturno River, with flat terrain that creates an open landscape along the shore.

The settlement was founded by the Oscans and Etruscans under the name Volturnum and later became a Roman colony. It grew further when a major highway connected the region to the larger Roman network.

The town reflects the lives of people from many countries who have made it their home, creating a diverse and international community visible in daily routines. This mix of backgrounds shapes how the place feels and how locals interact with one another.

The town sits about 35 kilometers south of Naples and is reachable by public transportation. Visitors will find a straightforward layout with easy access to beaches and waterfront areas.

After 1980, many holiday homes became permanent residences when a large international population settled here. This shift transformed the place from a vacation destination into an actual living community.
