Campobasso is the capital of the Molise Region, an Apennine town full of greenery where there is no shortage of places to visit. The historic center contains the main tourist attractions, a visit by bike is not very feasible due to the stairways typical of the ancient villages of central Italy, but the distances are very short so it is possible to move around easily on foot. Despite this, among the various places the Monforte Castle stands out, reachable by bike from a completely asphalted climb. Worthy of note are the Sannitico Provincial Museum and the Museum of the Mysteries, the latter preserves throughout the year the "Mysteries" or processional machines, allegorical-religious scenic structures that allow figures to parade and be carried on their shoulders through the streets of city on Corpus Domini Sunday. The city offers fine public fountains where you can stop for a break and then leave again. Leaving the city it is easy to reach other small villages within a few kilometers while enjoying the hilly panorama that connects the various centres.

The medieval city and capital of Molise is located at 700 meters above sea level. Campobasso (Campuasce in dialect) is dominated by the Monforte castle which stands at the top of the hill. Other important monuments to see are the cathedral of the Holy Trinity and the church of Sant'Antonio Abate.

Castel Monforte dominates Campobasso from the city hill. It takes its name from Count Nicola II Monforte, who restored it in 1458 after an earthquake. The castle has a square plan with four corner towers and an internal courtyard. Today it is a national monument, venue for cultural events, and houses the Air Force meteorological station.

The cathedral of the Holy Trinity is the mother church of Campobasso and seat of the metropolitan archdiocese. It is worth a visit inside because it is full of frescoes, stained glass windows and a pipe organ. It was destroyed by the earthquake of 1805 and rebuilt in the neoclassical style in the 19th century.
