The territory of Altavilla Salentina has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by some ancient settlements and finds of the 7th century B.C. can testify. The history of the current village of Altavilla Salentina began in the second half of the 11th century, when around the year 1080 the Normans built the town in a triangular plan, circling it with walls and three entrance doors: Porta di Suso, Porta Carina and Porta San Biagio, erecting the castle in the Baroque style and with tombstone concrete.
During a visit to Altavilla Silentina, we can admire the Convent of San Francesco built in the 15th century by the Franciscan Friars Minor. Also worth visiting is the Foce Sele-Tanagro Nature Reserve which is a protected natural area that includes part of the coast between Salerno and Paestum. Also beautiful are the territories along the banks of the Rivers Sele and Tanagro for a width of 150 meters from the shore and the Park “the forest”, a forest of 33606 square meters that juts out on the edge of the historic centre. This makes it easily accessible, with easily walkable and horseback riding trails. Picnic areas and a beautiful natural theatre for events of various kinds with about 1000 seats are available within the park.
The city of Altavilla Silentina is nationally renowned for the production of Buffalo Mozzarella from Campania. On the municipal territory, there are 200 buffalo farms, family-run.
