Campania ,Italy , in theprovince of Caserta , about 5 km SE of Caserta, with stations on the railways fromCaserta toBenevento and fromCaserta toAvellino .Main sights
The city is situated at the base of one of the Tifata hills, the towers of its medieval castle and the church of San Michele crowning the heights above. The fine old palace of the Caraffa family (once dukes of Maddaloni), the old college now named after
Giordano Bruno , and the institute for the sons of soldiers are the chief points of interest.About 4 km east of Valle di Maddaloni is the Ponte della Valle, an aqueduct built by the orders of
Charles III of Naples and his son. It was built to convey the water of the Tiburno toCaserta across the valley between MonteLongano andMonte Gargano . In that area, the aqueduct goes past a threefold series of arches rising to a height of more than 600 m.References
