Medieval Norman castle perched above Ariano Irpino—stone ramparts, crenellations and narrow windows offer strong architectural details and panoramic views over the Irpinia hills. Best light at golden hour and blue hour; weekday mornings have fewer tourists. Limited on-site parking; short walk from town. Parts may be closed for events—check local hours. Good in mist or after rain for moodier skies.
