Mondragone (Campanian: Mundraóne) is a comune or municipality in the Province of Caserta in the Italian region of Campania. It is located about 45 kilometres (28 mi) northwest of Naples and about 40 kilometres (25 mi) west of Caserta. It faces mountains on one side and ocean on the other, with the former lending it a reputation for game birds such as quail.[2]
In the Middle Ages, it was occupied by the Normans who built (or re-built) a castle.
Sights include:
- Ruins of Sinuessa Cellole & Sessa Aurunca
- Torre del Paladino, a 1st-century BC mausoleum
- Rocca or castle, built between the 8th and the 9th centuries and later modified by the Aragonese.
- Monastery of Sant'Anna al Monte
- Sanctuary of the Belvedere (c. 13th century)
- PAPA mountain
