Benevento to Monte Sant' Angelo

17. Celle to Troia

After walking back up the hill from Celle and turning left on the SP126 Troia is soon visible in the distance. This is a long descent along the road into Troia, which is much larger than it appears from a distance. The climb up to the city center is rewarded with a large shaded park. The cathedral in Troia has a fascinating rose window made of stone. Legend has it that Troia was founded by the Greeks after they had destroyed the ancient Troy.
