A defensive complex of Lombard origin built on the ancient acropolis, rebuilt by the Normans and transformed into a noble residence in the 15th century.
A mine of archaeological findings, works of art, documents and historical evidence. It is the Museo Provinciale Campano of Capua, founded in 1870 by the canon Gabriele Iannelli, an illustrious archaeologist who was also its first director, and inaugurated in 1874 in the prestigious Antignano Palace, an appropriate treasure chest for such a significant content.
