Built in the Norman age, the town preserves many buildings of great historical and architectural interest, such as the St. Francis’ Church (1270), with the prestigious polyptych by Simone da Firenze, the Capuchin Church, the town hall, Torre Capalbo and the ancient palaces (Barletta, Marcone, Donnaperna, Fortunato). Among the natural spots to admire there are: Lake Monte Cotugno, which is an artificial basin that makes it possible for Senise to have a diverse flora and fauna. A honorable mention goes to the culinary excellences, such as Senise’s delicious sweet pepper, which is celebrated in August with a large festival.
