Subjects : The ancient nucleus of the village has some characteristics of its medieval origins; in the apical part is a truncated conical Angevin tower. Of particular interest is the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Vigna, north of the town, rebuilt in the seventeenth century, which preserves in its original crypt interesting late Gothic frescoes. The theater-temple of Pietravairano is an ancient Roman theater located on Mount San Nicola. The complex consists of a theater and an Italic temple arranged on two terraces. It is located on a tip of a mountain (about 520 m above sea level). Of the temple remains only the base and the outline of the internal planimetry, while the theater was still in good condition already at the time of rediscovery (especially the semicircular cavea). It is assumed that the theater had a capacity of about 2000 seats.
