Monte Crocella Bojano

Standing 1040 metres above sea level on the Matese mountain range, Monte Crocella represents an ancient settlement chosen by the Samnites and those who inhabited the areas of Molise and Campania before them.
On Mount Crocella there are traces of megalithic fortification almost with a kilometre of extention, present in places on the almost circular route. The boulders, made up of dry stones, are laid as if found in nature.
On Mount Crocella di Boiano, it is possible to measure an area surrounded by fortification of about 4000 square metres, which could prove that it was barely inhabited; it was probably only used as a lookout post, thanks to its strategic position, watching over the plain below.
However, artefacts of black-painted pottery and a cistern have been found almost in the centre of the circle, suggesting that it was populated not only by soldiers on the lookout.
