Ruderi Castello Duronia
Molise
On the hill of San Tommaso, north of the village, remain ruins of the ancient castle.
In ancient times the name of the village was Civitate veteris; in the XVIII century many archaeological discoveries were made attesting the presence, already in ancient times, of a big urban center. In the inhabited center they are evidenced the massive structures of the medieval Castle, with beside the Church of Saint Nicola, realized almost surely in the epoch in which the castle has been built. Also in the inhabited center it is found a Cross in stone whose dating could go back to the century XV, in analogy to that one of Civitanova del Sannio.

Castello delle Riporse Longano
Molise
Located at an altitude of 550 m.s.l.m., the settlement is partly destroyed in the elevation, except in the south-eastern part. As far as building materials are concerned, the exclusive use of limestone makes the structure very solid and imposing. Few fragments of terracotta tiles have been found during the topographical survey, moreover it must be considered that in the realization of the roofs often and willingly were also used the limestone shingles, building tradition still preserved today in Molise.

Torre di Morrone del Sannio
Molise
The dovecote tower is an architectural form, used for the breeding of the pigeons, inside which there were the cells that hosted the birds for their breeding. Often, however, these towers had the double function of dovecote tower and watch tower, however, in general, they had no active defensive function, given their inadequacy to this task, and could only be of help to intimidate the enemy arriving, unable to distinguish, because of the distance, the real nature of the tower. The one in question, perched on a rock overlooking the Biferno river, presumably dates back to the fourteenth century AD.

Chiesa di Sant'Emidio ad Agnone
Molise
The 'cathedral' of Agnone is dedicated to St. Emidio, and is thought to have been erected by merchants from Ascoli Piceno (who had an intense wool and fabric trading relationship with Agnone) in honour of their patron saint, protector against earthquakes.
It was built outside the medieval city walls almost certainly following the disastrous earthquake of 1096. Initially modest in size and with a single nave, it was enlarged in later centuries.
