![]() Avellino, once called Abellinum, is one of the most interesting cities in the Campania region. Located in the middle of the "green Irpinia", the town of Avellino is surrounded by a magic landscape, where every single little village is famous all over the world for the production of the most tasty wines which exalt the excellent typical local cuisine. In the town centre we will find the Cathedral, which is famous for its Romanesque cript and paintings of the Renaissance time. Close to it there is the bell tower which is worth seeing. A beautiful fountain, created by the architect Cosimo Fanzago, one of the most important baroque sculptors, represents Bellerophon. The symbol of the town of Avellino is represented by the Clock Tower, 36 meters high, which dominates the Customs square. We terminate our visit at the Irpino Museum where many archaeological artifacts from ancient Abellinum and its surroundings, are exhibited, together with ceramics, modern paintings and a special Neapolitan crib.
