History



Early history


Compsa was an ancient city of the Hirpini occupied by the Carthaginian conqueror Hannibal in 216 BC.


Medieval and modern history


During the Early Middle Ages, it was a gastaldate in the Principality of Salerno. In 973, the gastald (city-based Lombard royal domain district administrator and judge) Landulf seized the principality. Later, it belonged to the Balvano, the Gesualdo, and the Mirelli families.


Recent history


The town was almost completely destroyed by the 1980 Irpinia earthquake. It was rebuilt in the area called Piano delle Briglie, 8 km (5 mi) from the former center. Conza della Campania is now a turistic attraction, since it can count among its territory the WWF Oasi, including the lake of Conza and the area outside. Conza della Campania has also about 10,000 visitors a year[citation needed] at its Archeological site, Compsa, discovered after the earthquake of 1980 that destroyed the old town.


Main sights


The main church is the Concattedrale (co-cathedral) of S. Maria Assunta. Other sights include the archaeological area of Compsa and the natural oasis of Lake Conza, an artificial basin on the Ofanto river.
