Calitri

Calitri is a town and comune of 5,292 inhabitants situated in the province of Avellino, Campania, Italy.
It is situated in Campania but on the borders of the regions of Apulia and Basilicata. It is approximately 530 metres above sea level so even on the hottest day there is generally a breeze. The Antico Borgo is in the oldest section of the town- the centro storico – at the top of which are the remains of a castle which predates the 12th century. The Borgo itself is a labyrinth of historic houses which have, over the centuries, been built into the hillside. Stone and marble stairs – frequently under old stone arches – connect the streets.
