About Borgo Natale
Borgo Natale: Christmas in the ancient village of Casertavecchia
Perched on the Tifatini Mountains, the medieval village of Casertavecchia, a hamlet of the municipality of Caserta, becomes the setting for Borgo Natale every December, one of the most fascinating Christmas markets in Campania. On the weekends leading up to the holidays, the stone-paved alleys, the famous Romanesque Cathedral, and the small squares light up with lights, scents, and music, offering visitors an atmosphere suspended in time.
Scattered markets through the alleys
The event is organized as a scattered market: wooden stalls and exhibition spaces are distributed along the village streets, offering local crafts, ceramics, Christmas decorations, artistic nativity scenes, liqueurs, and traditional sweets. Every corner becomes an opportunity to discover the work of artisans and the excellence of the Caserta area.
The food and wine trail
The beating heart of Borgo Natale is the food and wine trail that guides visitors through the flavors of Campania: street food, typical products, cheeses, cured meats, Christmas sweets, and local specialties to enjoy while strolling. A culinary itinerary designed to showcase the produce of the province of Caserta and the region's rural hospitality.
Shows, music, and entertainment
The program combines shopping and entertainment with street performances, folk music, children's entertainment, and theater. Artists, storytellers, and traditional folk bands alternate through the village streets, while the Cathedral provides a backdrop for evocative initiatives such as candlelight evenings. The arrival of Santa Claus and workshops for the little ones make the event an ideal destination for families.
A village to experience
Visiting Borgo Natale also means rediscovering one of the most beautiful historic centers in Campania: the Cathedral of San Michele Arcangelo, the castle tower, and the maze of medieval alleys offer unforgettable views, made even more magical under the Christmas lights. Admission is free and the event involves the associations and businesses of the village, in the heart of the Caserta territory.
