Discover Benevento with a professional guide specialized in History and Archaeology, ready to reveal the treasures and secrets of one of the most fascinating cities in Campania. Originally known as Maleventum (“bad wind”), the city changed its name to Beneventum after an extraordinary Roman military victory, becoming a symbol of prosperity and rebirth.
Traces of ancient Roman grandeur can still be found throughout the city: from the majestic Arch of Trajan, the true symbol of Benevento and one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in Europe, to the remains of the Roman Amphitheater, reminiscent of Rome’s Theatre of Marcellus.
As you stroll through the historic center, you will discover a layered city rich in charm, where every detail tells centuries of history — from the Lombard period, when Benevento became an important political and cultural center, through the Middle Ages with evocative sites such as the mysterious Morticelli Cemetery, up to more recent eras.
The second stop of your experience will take you to one of Italy’s most enchanting villages: Sant’Agata de’ Goti. You will fall in love with its romantic skyline perched dramatically on the rock, its picturesque alleys, and its authentic atmosphere that captivates visitors in every season. The day will end in the most delightful way — with lunch or dinner at a local restaurant, where you will enjoy regional specialties and fine local wines.
A complete experience combining history, culture, breathtaking scenery, and authentic flavors — a day you will truly never forget.
