Manocalzati (Irpino: Manëcaozàti) is a town and comune in the province of Avellino, Campania, Southern Italy. The area produces chestnuts, nuts and grapes.

History[]

Traces from the Iron Age indicate this town existed in the 8th century BC.

Manocalzati was later a fiefdom of the San Barbato family.

Main sights[]

The town retains its original medieval appearance, with narrow streets and palaces with decorated portals from the 18th and 19th centuries. There are two churches from the 18th century: Saint Michael (belltower built in the 16th century) and Saint Anna.

Within Manocalzati is San Barbato, a small hamlet overlooking the Serinese valley. Its medieval architecture is composed of houses surrounding a medieval castle.
