Comune di Casabore

Here, a temple dedicated to the goddess Mefitis, lady of fertility and the underworld, was left without its porticoes: work probably came to a halt when the Second Punic War reached these hills. In Casalbore every era has left its mark, because this was a place people passed through. Flocks on the transhumance route followed the Regio Tratturo, wayfarers travelled the Via Traiana, and pilgrims journeyed on toward the Gargano. In five stages, you will set out from the Norman Tower and enter the church of Santa Maria dei Bossi, built over a Roman funerary monument. You will then descend into the Grotto of San Michele and walk among the burial mounds where a woman of the Samnite aristocracy was buried with an amber necklace.
