Chronicles of Benevento
Benevento, a city in the Campania region of Italy, dates back to the 4th century BC, when it was a major city in the ancient Samnite civilization. The city was later an important Roman settlement, and its strategic location along the Via Appia made it a significant hub for trade and commerce. After a devastating earthquake in 1963, Benevento was rebuilt, and today it's a vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage, boasting a blend of ancient ruins, stunning baroque architecture, and a lively arts scene. The city's history is palpable in its narrow streets and piazzas, where ancient and modern Italy seamlessly blend.

Rooms to avoid
