Castello di Capua

The castle stands on a hill overlooking the Tappino River valley, with stone walls rising between the mountains of Molise and Tavoliere delle Puglie.

The Capua family acquired the fortress in 1484, transforming the military structure into a Renaissance residence while maintaining its defensive capabilities.

The interior rooms display frescoes from 1550 by Donato da Copertino, depicting mythological scenes, biblical episodes, and ancient historical figures across multiple halls.

The castle opens for guided tours with advance reservations through phone number +39 0874 719261 or email at drm-mol@cultura.gov.it for accessibility arrangements.

The Hall of Virtues, Mask Room, Pergola Room, Path Room, and Study Room contain art collections spanning from modern to contemporary periods.
