Mennella Castle is an ancient castrum (fortress) located in the "Le Mura" area of Filignano, in the Volturno Valley, in Upper Molise. It is a fortified hilltop settlement of early medieval origin, with likely earlier roots, recognizable today through the remains of walls, a tower, and structures uncovered during archaeological excavations conducted between the late 1990s and early 2000s. The site served a strategic purpose in controlling the valley's transit routes and represents one of the most significant examples of the system of castles and walled villages in the County of Molise.
