The historic centre of Gesualdo contains most of the places of interest in the town, including the Castle and Pisapia Palace and Mattioli Palace.

It still retains a medieval layout and, from the current conformation of the urban fabric, it is possible to deduce the social stratification of the population that, for centuries, surrounded the life of the Castle, namely the workforce, the aristocratic society and the clergy.

In fact, the entire inhabited centre of the town developed around the fortress, to the west of which are small, narrow houses, attached to each other according to the characteristic canons of feudal architecture. To the south of the Castle, there are a number of mansions in the historic centre of Gesualdo and to the east, squares, fountains, convents and other monumental buildings. Finally, the entire historic centre is characterised by charming stone alleys that add lustre and splendour to the Gesualdo historic centre.

All the architectural elements just mentioned make Gesualdo a unique town and, for this reason, one of the most important historical and cultural beauties of Irpinia.
