Venafro: The Enchanting Gateway to Molise

Venafro is the city that connects Molise’s inland areas with Campania and Lazio. With its Samnite origins and later as an ancient Roman colony, this land continues to captivate visitors with its fascinating history and cultural heritage.

Known since antiquity for its fertile lands and high-quality olive oil, Venafro is now home to the prestigious Olive Park, a tribute to the olive-growing tradition that has made the city famous worldwide.

Venafro boasts one of the most beautiful historic centers in Molise. Visitors can explore the Roman Amphitheater and Pandone Castle, two unmissable landmarks showcasing the city’s illustrious past.

Each year, Venafro hosts the much-anticipated Notte dei Fuochi (Night of Lights), illuminating the historic center with dazzling light shows and fireworks.

Be sure to visit the Winterline Historical Military Museum, a must-see for anyone interested in the military history of the region.
