A point of reference for the city as it is an important junction to reach the hospital and the ring road, the "Madonnella" also represents the beginning of a pleasant route immersed in the woods along the provincial road 53, ideal for admiring the Matese away from the traffic

Campobasso is the capital of the Molise Region, an Apennine town full of greenery where there is no shortage of places to visit. The historic center contains the main tourist attractions, a visit by bike is not very feasible due to the stairways typical of the ancient villages of central Italy, but the distances are very short so it is possible to move around easily on foot. Despite this, among the various places the Monforte Castle stands out, reachable by bike from a completely asphalted climb. Worthy of note are the Sannitico Provincial Museum and the Museum of the Mysteries, the latter preserves throughout the year the "Mysteries" or processional machines, allegorical-religious scenic structures that allow figures to parade and be carried on their shoulders through the streets of city on Corpus Domini Sunday. The city offers fine public fountains where you can stop for a break and then leave again. Leaving the city it is easy to reach other small villages within a few kilometers while enjoying the hilly panorama that connects the various centres.
