Discover Squille: Ciclovia del Volturno, Castles and Vineyard

Squille between vineyard and forest

Squille combines viticulture and forest. The Monticelli vineyard is part of the approximately 7-hectare Terre del Principe estate in Squille and is completely surrounded by forest. Those who want to take viticulture and wooded landscapes into account when planning can mark Monticelli as a specific focal point in Squille. For personal trip planning, viticulture can stand here as an independent topic alongside the Ciclovia del Volturno and local history. The connection between vineyard and forest can be selected in Squille as a separate topic alongside the cycling route, castles and festivals.

The Ciclovia del Volturno as a cycling route

The Ciclovia del Volturno represents a separate cycling topic for trip planning. The route runs for 144.5 kilometres from Rocchetta a Volturno to Capua via side roads with little motorised traffic. Most of the surface consists of asphalt and unpaved sections. Those planning a cycling tour can therefore take both the desired route length and the change in surfaces into account when planning the stages. Downloadable route tracks in several formats for smartphones, tablets and GPS devices are available for the Ciclovia del Volturno. Before starting the tour, the format can be selected according to the device being used. Smartphones, tablets and GPS devices can each be used with a suitable format.

Roman traces and festivals in Squille

The first settlement traces dating from Roman times were found in the hamlet of Squille. At the Festa di Santa Maria del Rosario announced in October 2022, statues of the Madonna del Rosario and San Michele Arcangelo were carried in a procession through the streets of the village. The 22nd edition of the Sagra degli Asparagi Selvatici also took place in Squille. Those interested in culture can distinguish between Roman history, a religious celebration and the festival associated with asparagus when choosing their own topics.
