Rocca dei Rettori

The construction of the Rocca dei Rectors dates back to 1321 on the model of the large French military buildings. It was built on the remains of an ancient Lombard fortress and is located at the highest point of the historic center of Benevento. The fortress houses the historical section of the Museo del Sannio and is also known as the Castle of Benevento or Castello di Manfredi. On the terrace there are two turrets from where you can admire a splendid view of the mountain basin and Mount Taburno.
