10. One of the main attractions of Campobasso is the Castello
Monforte, built in 1450 by the earl Nicola II Monforte, over
Lombard or Norman ruins. The castle has Guelph merlons
and stands on a commanding point, where traces of
ancient settlements (including Samnite walls) have been
found. The current construction is the result of later
rebuilding after the earthquakes of 1456 and 1805.
The castello Monforte with six towers of the medieval
walls remains in the old town.

11. The old town, that is on a hill, also includes
the Romanesque church of San Giorgio.
San Giorgio is the Patron Saint of
Campobasso; the legend says that he killed
a dragon.
Other two Romanesque churches are San
Bartomoleo and San Leonardo,

13. The neoclassical cathedral of Campobasso is
situated in the new town at the foot of the
hill on a lower plain. It is next to the
Government Palace (Prefettura)

14. Campobasso is also an important cultural
centre; there is the Provincial Archeological
Museum that, with its relics of the Samnites,
Frentani and Campani (ancient Italic peoples),
is an important place to visit.
