Inhabitants: 941
Altitude: 676 m above s.l.
Originally called Noia, Noepoli has been inhabited since the Iron Age. It was Roberto il Normanno’s fief first, then it passed on to the Sanseverinos, and the Pignatellis.Interesting sites to visit are: the Parish Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Chapel of Our Lady of Constantinople and the one of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Palazzo degli Archivi, owned by Noia’s ex landlord, Casa Canonica, which brims with ancient paintings and statues, the remnants of the feudal castle, the fortifications, and the monastery of S. Maria della Saectara. Evocative is the celebration of Our Lady of Constantinople, with the blessing of the "gregne" (trunks covered in spikes).
