Molise is a delightful region with hills rising up to mountains facing the Adriatic coastline north of the Gargano promontory. Among the southern regions it has rich waterways crossing the landscape taking the watershed from the Apennine out to the Adriatic Sea. The area is very fertile.
The Matese mountain range offers nature lovers some hidden wonders. The unspoiled beauty of the WWF Nature Reserve in Guardiaregia has some caves in the heart of the mountain and the park and caves are well worth an excursion.
The capital city of Molise is Campobasso where you can admire the historic centre with its castle from the Longobard period. The Romanesque churches of Sam Bartolomeo and San Giorgino are well worth visiting, the church of Sant Antonio has some wonderful sixteenth century wood carvings.
The region is famous for Italian art like the ninth century frescoes in the crypt of San Lorenzo in San Vincenzo al Volurno. There are also examples of Romanesque and medieval architecture showing the influence of neighbouring Apulia. Some of the Civic Palaces are in the Baroque style with Neopolitan influences.
