The extinct volcano of Roccamonfina is the heart of the park that protects since 1993 a territory of great naturalistic value from Campania Felix up to the border with Lazio. Eleven thousand hectares of volcanic rocks and limestone, streams and lush vegetation, dotted with ancient hamlets keeping alive the imprint of their past and the heritage of their identities.
On its shores violets grew, and this is why the Greeks called it Clanis. The River Clanis rises on Mounts Tifatini.
It rises from Lake Matese and in the first part of its way, it is characterised by cascades and differences in heights.
For the ancient Italic peoples it was a sacred river. On the shores, they erected sanctuaries such as the Demetra and Teano one.
