Castelpetroso

Province of Isernia, Molise region, Italy

The area was inhabited well before the conquest of the Lombards, who were the first to realize the strategic importance of the settlement, on a hill exactly on the border between Isernia and Bojano. Like Castelmauro, the borough was surrounded by high, mighty walls where only three doors opened. In 1860, part of Garibaldi's army during retreat had to fight against the population of the area in order to reach Bojano.
