The preferential position of the BEST WESTERN Hotel Bei Park makes it very convenient to reach many localities in the Campania region renowned for their beauty and historical importance.
Benevento, the capital of the province with a wealth of history and traditions, offers tourists and visitors many heritage sites reflecting the area’s historical value and its importance during the various ages, and the events marking its progress.
Within the city walls, something not to be missed is the Arch of Trajan, the most important ancient Roman triumphal arch that has survived to date, the Roman Theatre, the Ponte Leproso (a bridge on the Via Appia over the Sabato River) and the complex of Santa Sofia which, together with the adjacent Church of Santa Sofia is one of the most important UNESCO heritage sites in Southern Italy. The Church and the adjacent abbey house the Samnite Museum which preserves archaeological finds coming from throughout the province of Benevento.
Once again within the city of Benevento it is also possible to admire the church of Sant’Ilario in Port’Aurea, which today has become the Trajan Arch Museum, the Cathedral dating back to the 8th century AD, the Lombard Walls and the Rocca dei Rettori (the Castle of Benevento).
Among the contemporary works, mention must of course be made of “Hortus Conclusus” by the Samnite master Mimmo Paladino – an installation dating back to 1992 set in one of the gardens of the Convent of St. Dominic
