The Sanframondo castle overlooks the Titerno valley: restored, it hosts cultural events, the Butterfly Museum and panoramic terraces.

According to tradition, the Sanframondo castle was commissioned by the Norman Raone di Sanframondo around 1139 to watch over the Titerno valley. It suffered sieges in the 15th century, the 1456 earthquake and the Aragonese sack of 1461; from 1469 it passed to the Carafa, who held it until the abolition of feudalism in 1806.After a long period of neglect, careful restoration has recovered two large halls: one houses the Butterfly Museum, the other is a panoramic conference room. We like the large terrace with its open-air theatre, which hosts shows in summer, and the roof garden from which the view stretches as far as the Matese. We recommend going up at sunset.
