San Giorgio La Molara

Discover the municipality of San Giorgio La Molara

The town of San Giorgio La Molara is located at 32 km of Benevento and is located at an altitude of 667 meters.

The municipality is located on the top of the Samnite Apennine mountains, between the valleys crossed by the Tammarecchia and Sanzano streams, and is inhabited by around 3,000 inhabitants.

Archaeological findings testify that the territory was frequented in Roman times, but the town only developed as a fortified site in Norman times.

Until the 19th century, the town was called San Giorgio della Molinara.

The territory was owned by the Gaetani, Carafa, Cossa and Caracciolo families. Later, Ferdinand IV of Bourbon removed these lands from feudal power and gave them to Cardinal Fabrizio Ruffo in 1801, whose family held these lands until the abolition of feudal power in 1806.

Thanks to the massive production of cereals and the considerable presence of olive groves and vineyards, agriculture has always been the municipality’s main source of income. In addition, the area is famous for the production of PGI meat.
