Ancient Allifae, a Roman town whose walls and gates are still visible in the centre of Alife.

Alife preserves the layout of the Roman town exceptionally well: the old town is still enclosed within its rectangular circuit of walls, with gates on all four sides.Outside the walls lie the remains of the amphitheatre and a cryptoporticus. The archaeological museum tells the story of the town.
