Campofiorito is an ancient village which provides interesting summer festivals every year.
The first settlement of Campofiorito dates back to the Greek period. Later it was completely destroyed by Arabs who rebuilt the new village calling it “Ballanūba”. The emperor Federico II of Hohenstaufen later destroyed the Arabs in the twelfth century, and founded this small village.
The most important monuments of this village are: the Mother Church, built in 1760; The Church of San Giuseppe, built in 1804; the Castellaccio Civic Museum of Campofiorito which includes the impressive findings from the Middle Age, collected in the area; The 18th century fountains; The Church of Santo Stefano; The Lavatoio Regina Elena which is a well preserved ancient public thermal bath.
