Mondragone.. my city!

Mondragone is a small city in the province of Caserta, even if it have about 30.000 habitants. The first ones who lived there were a people of the Aurunci and Byzantines too. After that, Mondragone has been occuped by the Normans who re-built our castle.


My city is mostly famous because of the sea: turists come here all above for our sea or for our  delicious foods. In fact we produce a exquisite mozzarella and a local sweet, scrippella.
Most typical ballads are really ancient and we don't know where are they from.
Our Patron Saint is Madonna Incaldana and we also have a sanctuary were people pray a lot. 

If you go to this little but cute city you can visit the ruins of Sinuessa, Torre Del Paladino, Rocca or Castle (built between the 8th and the 9th centuries and later modified by Aragonese Sanctuary of Belvedere and then the Museum Biagio Greco, that is really interesting! And even a dog's breeding, called Foof.
