CastelloCastello MonforteHilltop above Campobasso, six-tower silhouette, 1458 rebuilding, Misteri city belowCampobasso's castle crowns its conical hill with the blunt geometry Count Nicola Monforte gave it in 1458. The terrace circles the horizon from the Matese to the Maiella, the whole region in one slow turn.
GiardinoVilla De CapoaMonumental town garden, sequoias and cedars among statues, Counts di Capoa legacy, restored nineteenth-century designCampobasso's noble garden survived as the town's green parlor, its avenues lined with statues, sequoias and cedars of Lebanon. Restored to its nineteenth-century plan, Villa De Capoa is the gentlest stop in Molise's capital.
MuseoMuseo dei MisteriThirteen flying machines of 1748, children borne as angels, Corpus Domini procession, Di Zinno's engineeringSculptor Paolo Di Zinno built thirteen steel-and-wood machines that let children float as angels and saints above Campobasso's Corpus Domini crowds. The museum keeps the Mysteries and their films the rest of the year, ready for June.
