Lettere Castle Guided Tour

At the appointed time, we'll meet at the main entrance of Lettere Castle to begin a guided tour of this medieval fortress in the Campania region.

Before entering the fortress, we'll see the remains of the hermitage of Our Lady of Succour. The ancient bell tower, decorated with grey tuff and yellow sandstone, contrasts with the Lattari Mountains. This site overlooks the Gulf of Naples, with Mount Vesuvius in the background.

After visiting the chapel, we will tour Lettere Castle, built in the 10th century under the Duchy of Amalfi. We will visit the Courtyard of Weapons and the Keep, which houses a museum detailing the history of the families who resided in the bastion.

We will continue at the Torre del Trigo (Wheat Tower), which contains another museum exhibiting bronze and ceramic objects from the archaeological excavations around the fortress.

Finally, after an hour and a half's walk, we will conclude our tour at the meeting point.
