Morgia di Pietravalle or Morgia dei Briganti in Salcito Millions of years ago, while the most important mountain ranges in Europe were forming, the movements of the earth's crust brought to the surface large rocky spurs born in a marine environment: these are the famous Morge, monumental rocks rich in fossils.

Civitacampomarano is a small village with very ancient origins dating back to the Samnite era. It has kept its medieval aspect with its Angevin castle and many churches to visit, and you cannot miss a walk through the alleys to admire the many murals made by street artists during an urban art festival that takes place every year in June.

There are two hypotheses on the origins of its name, the first has it that it derives from Rocca Bonnarii, referring to its founder, a certain Bonnario; the second that it comes from Rocca di Vivara, referring to the district of Vivara still existing and bordering the municipality of Roccavivara. The lower part of the Roccavivara countryside offers ample evidence of the presence of inhabited centers at the time of republican and imperial Rome. Historical information tells us that in 1268 Gualtiero di Vollers was feudal lord of Roccavivara; he was followed by Bertrando Cantelmo, whose descendants held the dominion until 1442. Subsequently the power passed to the Sangro, the Carafa and the Coppola until the abolition of feudalism. A very interesting site was found in San Fabiano: a Roman villa certainly built on a ground floor supported by a megalithic construction.

The town is located at 900 m a.s.l. and, from some points of the place, you can see the Tremiti islands and the tops of the Maiella. On the hill there is a castle, albeit in advanced ruins. There is no certain information about the birth of Sant’Angelo Limosano for sure, however, it is known that in the past it was the fortress of the nearby town of Limosano. The last feudal lords were the de Attellis who ruled the territory from 1650 until the abolition of feudalism. The conditions of the town improved when, in the seventeenth century, the baron moved from the top of the castle to the inhabited center and when Cardinal Vincenzo Maria Orsini took important initiatives during his numerous pastoral visits. Sant’Angelo Limosano claims the Sant Angiolese citizenship of Pope San Pier Celestino (Celestino V), who has not yet been recognized as the dispute with Isernia is still underway. It is also the birthplace of the self-taught inventor Alessio Marone to whom the Corso that winds under the great Vittorio Emanuele III ramp, the main access road to the town, is named. Il Marone is remembered for the invention of the electromagnetic-chemical telegraph and the Maltese cross tubular bridges. The parish church of Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo, restored over the past centuries, is a harmonious building to visit. Another place to admire is the ancient church of San Pier Celestino which in 1695 was transformed by Cardinal Orsini into a granary because it had not been restored according to his orders. Going along via del Municipio, you arrive at Rua and Contrada di San Pietro. Places linked to the name of Pope Angelico are the "hill" and the "Fonte di San Pietro" from which water begins to flow after the winter, a few days before the feast of the Saint, on 19 May. Worth visiting is the sanctuary of the Madonna delle Stelle, built two kilometers from the town, to the west, following the discovery of a statue of the Madonna on January 3, 1926.

Arte e storia del territorio molisano caratterizzano anche il paese di Trivento, in provincia di Campobasso, cosi chiamato perché ancora oggi è esposto ai venti dell’est, del sud e del nord. Vi si accede tramite una salita che porta in cima al colle e proietta il visitatore in un’altra dimensione, dove a trionfare è la pietra. Ovunque tutto intorno è fatto di pietra, ad incominciare dalla fontana monumentale fino alla magnifica scalinata a tre corsie, formata da quella centrale molto ampia e da due laterali più piccole. E’ la scalinata di San Nicola, dove sfilano uno dopo l’altro ben 365 gradini, che si dice siano uno per ogni giorno dell’anno. Conduce alla parte alta del borgo collegando la piazza al centro storico: ai suoi lati si ergono gli edifici più importanti del paese e da sempre è il simbolo di accoglienza di Trivento, rappresentando una delle più belle gradinate di tutto il Molise. Scalino dopo scalino si arriva davanti alla Chiesa di San Nicola, davanti alla quale si può ammirare una bella statua marmorea del Cuore Immacolato di Maria. A quota 150 scalini ci si può fermare su Largo di Porta Maggiore dove la visuale spazia sulla Trivento moderna e si perde sulla montagna circostante. A quota 175 una poderosa costruzione la costringe a diramarsi e dare luogo a Via Roma, una strada fatta di scale. Al 234esimo scalino si apre invece la grande piazza che ospita la Cattedrale, il Campanile, la chiesa della SS Trinità e la Curia. La Cattedrale è l’altro simbolo cittadino, eretta su una preesistente basilica dedicata a San Casto. Ha subito nei secoli vari restauri ma custodisce tutt’ora preziosi tesori artistici tra cui la Cripta, situata a qualche metro di profondità sotto il transetto e il presbiterio, che segna il passaggio dal Tempio pagano, dedicato a Diana, al primo Cristianesimo. Della sua fase più antica la Cattedrale conserva oltre ad un' iscrizione del 1076 con la dedica ai Santi Nazario e Casto, una serie di archetti pensili che a tratti la coronano esternamente. Sull'altare c'è una lunetta in pietra, risalente al XIII secolo, con bassorilievo raffigurante la Trinità fiancheggiata da due angeli e due delfini. Tra le tre sculture lignee spicca una Madonna in trono del Duecento. A sinistra della Cattedrale un portale con arco a ogiva introduce nel Giardino dell’Episcopio da cui si può osservare la fiancata romanica della chiesa e, nelle aiuole, frammenti di cippi funerari romane. Quando poi si arriva in cima la vista ripaga della salita, con la panoramica a 360° che spazia dai profili frastagliati dei monti ai paesini dirimpettai come Schiavi d’Abruzzo, Vastogirardi e Pietrabbondante.
