At the foot of the Alburni, a truly fascinating medieval village is hidden: Castelcivita. Castelcivita is a real fortress on the rock that with its imposing tower, dominates the entire territory. Located in the north-east of Cilento, it is part of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. The tower in question, the "Torre Angioina", is about 25 meters high, and inside it is possible to visit an exhibition on peasant civilization. This municipality is characterized by alleys, cascading houses, small squares, important religious and artistic works but above all by nature. The houses are picturesque and lined with alleys and stairs. They are called "cascading" as they accompany the steep digressions downwards, in a rather gentle way, giving the sensation that they are all falling together. The name of the village is rather recent: it dates back to 1863, when it was decided to unite the village of Castelluccia to that of Civita by means of a Royal decree. read less
