Campania Felix, Capua

The Palace of pro loco in the square
I can't believe I am realising one of my biggest dreams: telling the world about the beauty of my home region.


The church of Sant'Eligio




Campania is an amazing place where history, art and nature have merged to create an open-air museum.
I want to start by showing you a tiny corner of my home town: Capua.

Capua is a small town situated in the north of the Campania region. 

It was founded in 856  AD and it is a very important historical site, full of ancient churches and interesting museums.


Let me introduce you the main hub of the town "Piazza dei Giudici". 
View of the square
The name of this square comes from the judges (judices) who formerly resided in the palace. This area is a cornucopia of treasures: the church of Sant'Eligio, The Mazzocchi arch, the town hall and the Palace of "Gran guardia" are  all situated in this corner of the city.                                               


If you want to discover the history and the magnificence of these buildings, keep reading...
