Cancellara.
This village, built on the mountainside of a hill,
was fortified in the Norman-Swabian period and changed
lords up to 1775, when it became propriety of Benedetto
Candida. In 1799, because of the Neapolitan Raisings
which caused some violent fights, its inhabitants
managed to obtain independence and raised the tree
of freedom in the middle of the village.
The Castle, overlooking this village, keeps its feudal
structure. Behind the Castle is S. Antonio’s
Chapel: inside it, there are some frescos of the XVI
century.
The Main Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, built
in the XVI century, has a completely renovated facade
and its main characteristic is a bell tower ending
in a cusp.
