Two parks in one characterize seven hectares of greenery dominated by the imposing Castello Dentice di Frasso. The Parco comunale “Salvatore Morelli”, also called Parco del Castello, in Carovigno, develops close to the historic center and is today an area subject to landscape protection.\n\nWanted by the counts residing in the manor for the leisure and walks of the guests, in fact it has not changed its destination today. It is divided into two areas, one to the north, the Parco provinciale, the other to the south, the Parco comunale.\n\nThe first is free and always accessible, the communal one, closed and usable during daylight hours. Inside, among centuries-old olive trees, flowers, high and medium-sized plants typical of the Mediterranean maquis and a botanical avenue, there is a large equipped area reserved for the leisure and entertainment of children. During the summer, the park becomes a precious setting for shows and events.
