Castel San Lorenzo

Agricultural center of the middle Valle del Calore, situated on a hill on the slopes of Mount Vesole, Castel San Lorenzo has Lombard origins dating back to the foundation of the monastery of S. Lorenzo de strictu, in the 12th century, by Guaimario III of Capaccio. He donated the monastery numerous lands, where the first residential areas of the original settlement were built, under the jurisdiction of the Benedictine Monks. In the following centuries, the fiefdom has been dominated by several families including the Carafa, who ruled for a long time.
