Civita di Ogliara Fortified Enclosure

  • Visit: about 1 h 15 min
  • 623 m

The Civita di Ogliara in Serino: a ring of ancient stone walls on a plateau above the Sabato, in the Monti Picentini Park.

In the woods of Serino, at Ogliara, you come across the Civita: a plateau at about 620 metres, almost cut off by two streams and overlooking the river Sabato, girdled by a ring of grey stone walls following the edge of its steep sides. The circuit of walls runs for about two kilometres.The site's origins are still debated: in the early 20th century local and foreign scholars recognised it as an ancient fortified centre, suggesting links with the Picentine peoples. We like reaching it on foot, surrounded by the Monti Picentini Regional Park. We recommend suitable footwear and care: cattle guarded by dogs often graze in the area.
