Discover Bagnoli del Trigno
Perched dramatically on the slopes of a limestone hill, Bagnoli del Trigno is one of Molise’s most scenic villages, overlooking the Trigno Valley from its distinctive rocky perch. The town is divided into two levels: the lower section, with narrow lanes and stone houses, and the upper part, where ancient fortifications rise directly from the rock face. Its position between the mountains and the plains gives it a unique character, with striking contrasts between rugged cliffs and the green countryside below.
Dominating the skyline is the Church of San Silvestro, built against the rock and partly carved into it, alongside the remains of the Lombard Castle, which once served as a defensive stronghold. The village’s medieval layout, small piazzas, and stairways reflect centuries of adaptation to its dramatic setting. Surrounded by chestnut woods and wildflower meadows, Bagnoli del Trigno lies within easy reach of Agnone and Trivento, forming part of the scenic and historic heart of northern Molise.
