Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi

Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi stands on a hill in the inland country of Irpinia. The Normans fortified its castle in 1076. Nearby, William of Vercelli founded the abbey of Goleto in 1133–34 on land given by Roger of Monticchio. The religious community grew to include separate houses for women and men, with churches built amid the remains of an older Roman site.
