Tips from the Community
If you're cycling from north to south along the Cilento coast, this is the first real panoramic viewpoint. I recommend climbing up, avoiding the main road to avoid the bulk of traffic (there's a fork at the start of the climb). The view is worth the effort: beautiful.

Founded in the Caesarian era (around 50 BC), it is among the oldest examples of this type of building. Initially built without an external ring, it still retains a few steps of the caeva (stairs for the public). The balteo, a parapet separating the arena from the cavea, was built to a considerable height to avoid aggression from the animals performing in the arena. At the end of the 1st century AD, an external ring was added consisting of a series of arches resting on brick pillars, above which the crowning of the cavea (maenianum summum) was positioned, perhaps made of wood. Currently, the amphitheatre is only partially visible since approximately a third is buried under the modern road.

It is a splendid monumental fountain from the 15th century, probably also used as a wash house until the last century. The water is really fresh and the porch, inside which it is located, offers a pleasant shelter during the hot summer days.
