Croce and in the nearby Monte Sammucro suggest that it was inhabited since the times of the Samnites and the ancient name "Valle del campo" refers precisely to the defensive function of the Sannio. In the town centre, the church of Sant'Antonio di Padova, the remains of the site and the church of Santa Caterina, of the Convent of San Domenico, the remains of a watchtower and those of a Samnite settlement are worth seeing.
