Riccia

Bosco Mazzocca is a natural area included in the Natura 2000 Network.

Medieval castle of uncertain origin. Under the astute and ambitious Bartholomew III of Capua, the castle grew in size and took on a military character, as can be seen from its ruins (the building was destroyed by a popular uprising in 1799), represented by a few walls, a few stacks, and a large water tank dug out of the tower, which still rises proudly from the rock face some 20 metres on the east side.

It is an old drinking trough and wash house located in the Contrada Paolina.

The Church of the Annunziata, which borders Via Zaburri, was built in 1378. It is a single-nave building with a rectilinear upper façade, a very simple ogival portal, decorated with minute columns with symbols reminiscent of the Romanesque style.

An ancient 17th-century fountain located at the beginning of the historic centre near the town hall, which, together with the watchtower, dominates the entrance to the historic centre, now home to the town hall.

The Church or Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Carmine in Riccia (CB) is a shrine built between 1450 and 1536. Inside, for more than three centuries the object of worship, was an altarpiece (triptych) depicting the Virgin with the prophets Elisha and Elijah on either side.

The Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, commonly called the Church of Blessed Stephen, is a fundamental element in the architectural complex of Piano della Corte, the centre of the ancient medieval village.

Various tools used by the oldest, wisest and most experienced generations in the village can be admired in the museum. In recent times, the Museum has also been enriched with the first wooden plough from the 1700s, a peasant wedding dress from the end of the 19th century, a night dressing gown woven on looms from the beginning of the 20th century, as well as musical instruments such as trumpets and trombones, also from the end of the 19th century, and a store scale with all the period salt outfits from the beginning of the 20th century.

It is a small rural church located in the middle of the forest and dedicated to St John Gualbert, protector of foresters.

These are two routes that respectively connect Riccia with Gambatesa and Riccia with the CAI Italia trail near the Mazzocca forest.
