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, we will observe the remains of the hermitage of Our Lady of Succour. The ancient bell tower, decorated with grey tuff and yellow sandstone, stands in contrast to the distant Lattari Mountains. This location offers strategic views over the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

After visiting the chapel, we will proceed to Lettere Castle, constructed in the 10th century under the Duchy of Amalfi. The tour will include the Courtyard of Weapons and the Keep, which contains a museum showcasing the history of the families that resided in the bastion.

Next, we will visit the Torre del Trigo (Wheat Tower), which also houses a museum featuring bronze and ceramic objects found in the archaeological excavations around the fortress.

Finally, after an hour and a half of exploration, we will conclude our tour at the meeting point.
