Castello Guerritore, of Norman origins and over the centuries the seat of the various local feudal lords. Today it is the seat of the Archaeological Museum of the Upper Sele Valley. A unique example of baronial castle in southern Italy, it was built on a compact limestone rock. During the Renaissance, new fortifications were added to the original structure, but the plan of the Castle recalls a scheme used in the Norman period. The large windows date back to the end of the seventeenth century. Oliveto Citra and its castle belonged first to the Frenchman William of Touille and then, over the centuries, they passed from one feudal lord to another. The last owner was Marquis Guerritore, who received the castle as a dowry from his wife, Baron Macedonio’s daughter.
