Pietramaggiore, Medieval fortress and archaeological site in San Giorgio La Molara, Italy
The ruins of Pietramaggiore stand at 738 meters elevation in the Campanian Apennines, featuring remnants of ancient structures and fortification walls.
During the Norman period, Pietramaggiore served as a strategic stronghold, mentioned in the Chronicon Beneventanum during conflicts between Count Rainulfo and King Roger II.
The site includes traces of Roman land division systems and contained two churches dedicated to Saint Martin and Saint Nicholas until the early 20th century.
The archaeological area requires sturdy footwear for exploration, and visitors can access the site through marked paths from San Giorgio La Molara.
In 1956, an ancient bridge among the castle ruins was demolished during the filming of a movie titled 'Sangue di zingara'.
