La Casina Del Principe Gusto In Avellino

The Casino del Principe was the monumental entrance to the park surrounding Avellino's medieval castle. The stone portal that leads to the quadrangular courtyard remains, culminating in a semicircular fountain decorated with gargoyles and a main niche. Behind and to the sides are the rooms that served as stables and a garden dominated by a centuries-old olive tree. It currently houses the G. Dorso Library, and hosts cultural events.
