On the hill of Montevetrano, at 258 metres, in the municipality of San Cipriano Picentino, stands a medieval castle that grew from a 3rd-century BC Roman castrum built to control the Picentine peoples.Between the 11th and 13th centuries it gained walls and a cylindrical tower. From the hill the view sweeps over the Sele plain and the gulf.
