It consists of two parts: the keep, built by the <strong>Lombards<\/strong> in the ninth century, and the Palace of the Governors, built by the rectors of the Pope from 1320.<\/p>\n<p>It is now the seat of the province of Benevento and houses the historical section of the <strong>Sannio Museum<\/strong>, holding documents related to the history of the city and the Sannio region.<\/p>\n<p>A necropolis occupied this place in the 7th-6th centuries, and Sannite tombs were discovered there. The latter established here a defensive post (IVe before our era). The Romans built a large cistern, whose remains meet in the garden, the water arrived by an aqueduct connected to Serino, south of Avellino.<\/p>\n<p>The tower is all that remains of an old Lombard fortress. It was rebuilt and took its current face in the fifteenth century. 28 m high, in its walls we can recognize blocks of stones from the Roman era.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the building, also the largest part, is the Palace of the governors of the Pope.<br \/>\nIt occupies three floors, with a rectangular plan and an inner courtyard. It is the result of several construction companies, as evidenced by the old foothills that emerge from a facade partly neoclassical.<\/p>\n<div id=\"lmm_3883dae4\" style=\"width:550px;\" class=\"mapsmarker markermap marker-69\">\n<div id=\"lmm_panel_3883dae4\" class=\"lmm-panel\" style=\"background:#efefef;\">\n<div id=\"lmm_panel_api_3883dae4\" class=\"lmm-panel-api\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?daddr=Rocca+dei+Rettori%2C+Benevento%2C+Italy&amp;t=m&amp;layer=1&amp;doflg=ptk&amp;om=0\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Get directions\"><img alt=\"icon-car.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naples-napoli.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/leaflet-maps-marker\/inc\/img\/icon-car.png\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" class=\"lmm-panel-api-images\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naples-napoli.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/leaflet-maps-marker\/leaflet-kml.php?marker=69&amp;name=show\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\" title=\"Export as KML for Google Earth\/Google Maps\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.naples-napoli.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/leaflet-maps-marker\/inc\/img\/icon-kml.png\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" alt=\"KML-Logo\" class=\"lmm-panel-api-images\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naples-napoli.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/leaflet-maps-marker\/leaflet-fullscreen.php?marker=69\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\" title=\"Open standalone map in fullscreen mode\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.naples-napoli.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/leaflet-maps-marker\/inc\/img\/icon-fullscreen.png\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" alt=\"Fullscreen-Logo\" class=\"lmm-panel-api-images\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naples-napoli.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/leaflet-maps-marker\/leaflet-geojson.php?marker=69&amp;callback=jsonp&amp;full=yes&amp;full_icon_url=yes\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\" title=\"Export as GeoJSON\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.naples-napoli.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/leaflet-maps-marker\/inc\/img\/icon-json.png\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" alt=\"GeoJSON-Logo\" class=\"lmm-panel-api-images\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naples-napoli.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/leaflet-maps-marker\/leaflet-georss.php?marker=69\" style=\"text-decoration:none;\" title=\"Export as GeoRSS\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.naples-napoli.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/leaflet-maps-marker\/inc\/img\/icon-georss.png\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" alt=\"GeoRSS-Logo\" class=\"lmm-panel-api-images\" \/><\/a><\/div><div id=\"lmm_panel_text_3883dae4\" class=\"lmm-panel-text\" style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#373737;\">Chateau de Benevent<\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"lmm_map_3883dae4\" class=\"lmm-map\" style=\"background:#f6f6f6;border:1px solid #ccc;height:400px;
