Acquedotto Carolino (20 min from the Castle)
The Carolino Aqueduct (also known as the Vanvitelli Aqueduct) is the aqueduct that was created to supply water to the San Leucio complex and that also supplies water to the Royal Palace of Caserta (or rather to the “royal delights” consisting of the park the English garden and the forest of San Silvestro), drawing water from the slopes of Mount Taburno, from the Fizzo springs in the territory of Bucciano (BN), and transporting it along a route that runs, mostly underground, for a length of 38 kilometers. The work required 16 years of work and the support of the most esteemed scholars and mathematicians of the kingdom of Naples (first and foremost Luigi Vanvitelli), arousing, for the entire time of its realization, the attention of the whole of Europe, so much so as to be recognized as one of the works of greatest architectural and engineering interest of the 18th century.

Museo Provinciale Campano di Capua (35 min from the Castle)
The establishment of the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Capua arose from the need to present, according to the most modern exhibition criteria, the materials unearthed during excavations carried out in the second half of the 20th century in what was once the territory of Capua. Since December 2014 the museum, amphitheater and mithraeum have been under the management of the Museum Pole of Campania. The last room houses artifacts from Capua’s most famous sanctuaries, that of Diana Tifatina and that of the Patturelli Fund. One recalls a sima with a lion’s head, the statue of Mater Matuta and that of a sphinx torso both made of tuff.

Abbey of Sant'Angelo in Formis (20 min from the Castle)
The church, dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, stands along the western slope of Mount Tifata.

The decoration also can be compared with miniatures made in the scriptorium of Monte Cassino Abbey. The decorative program occupies the naves, apses, and counter-façade.

Grassano Park (15 min from the Castle)
Il Parco del Grassano è una perla naturalistica caratterizzata dall’omonimo Rio, famoso per l’estrema limpidezza e freddezza delle acque. Sebbene breve, il corso d’acqua è considerato un vero e proprio fiume con una portata media complessiva di circa 6.000 litri d’acqua al secondo. Il modo migliore per apprezzare la particolare trasparenza delle acque del Rio Grassano è navigarlo in canoa o in kayak. L’ampia area picnic e le zone barbecue possono essere prenotate dai visitatori. L’habitat è perfetto per lontre, nutrie e uccelli acquatici, ma non per i pesci a causa delle basse temperature. Salici, pioppi, tigli e piante igrofile, costeggiano il corso d’acqua e contribuiscono ai giochi di luce che impreziosiscono le acque del Rio Grassano.
