The Archaeological Park of Sepino is a place out of time, where the past coexists closely with the present.
Travellers who enter the ancient Roman city through one of its four city gates are projected into a world where the passage of time becomes a circular movement: the remains of the first Samnite settlement, dating back to the 4th century BC, stand alongside medieval structures; the beautiful Roman theatre supports the houses that farmers built in the 18th century; and the exhibition spaces displaying archaeological finds still preserve elements of rural daily life from the 20th century.
This site is immersed in an ecological context of great value, where people have chosen to live over the centuries, using the elements of the territory that ensured their safety and quality of life: the water from the Tammaro River in the valley below, the strategic control of the surrounding hills, the forest-based economy guaranteed by the Matese mountains, and the opportunities for meeting and trade offered by the crossroads of two important communication routes.
Sepino and its Archaeological Park preserve both the tangible and intangible remains of a historical stratification spanning several millennia, sharing them with visitors to foster understanding and recognition of the evolving relationship between people and their environment, between nature and history.
