Ciorlano is a small village in the upper Volturno, overlooking the valley and surrounded by a rural landscape of fields, springs, and wooded slopes rising toward the Matese Mountains. Piazza Vendettuoli is the focal point of community life in the village, offering numerous panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

The fortress of Ravecanina (as it was later called) or Rupe Canina, an ancient medieval tower, was renovated by Frederick II, who assigned it to the Teutonic Knights. Today it is unfortunately abandoned.

From the north shore of the lake you can enjoy an excellent view and on the east bank you can see the walls of the small dam which was used to power the Enel power plant which has now been decommissioned for many years.
