Apollosa is an Italian town in the province of Benevento in Campania. The town is located on the right of the old via Consolare, which goes from Benevento to the Caudina valley. The border with the municipalities of Roccabascerana, Ceppaloni and San Leucio del Sannio is marked to the east by the river Serretelle. Its territory is between 136 and 656 m a.s.l., with an altitude of 520 m.

The village was built on top of a small hill overlooking the Appian Way (in the locality "Terravecchia"). Near the Appia on the border with the town of Ceppaloni there was the "Taverna del Passo" so called because there was the feudal customs[6] and a mill that was active before the First World War. Nearby is the small church dedicated to San Domenico which is currently in precarious condition (see photo). The 6th-century Turpylius inscription cites it as urbs ("city"). Under the Normans it was in possession of the barons of Fenucchio, the church of Santa Sofia di Benevento and the Frangipane. He later entered the possession of the Della Leonessa. In 1460 Ferdinando I destroyed the town because the Della Leonessa had sided for Giovanni d'Angiò. Later the village was relocated to its current location. Later the fief was in possession of the Caracciolo, the Ricca, the Piscicelli, the Guindazzo Caracciolo and finally the Spinelli princes of S. Giorgio and Apollosa. After the Spinelli’s extinction the title passed to the Lancellotti. At the bridge on the Appian Way were found two milestone columns concerning the reconstruction of the same bridge, one of which can be traced back to about 198, under the emperor Septimius Severus.

The ruins of the ancient castle and a baronial palace are preserved. The churches of interest are: Santa Maria Assunta San Giuseppe (church inserted in the ducal palace Varricchio) San Giovanni Battista (rural chapel) San Domenico, in Taverna (deconsecrated church and diruta passed to private property). The hilly landscape of Apollosa is characterized by the presence of vineyards and olive trees that produce excellent DOC and DOCG wines (Aglianico, Coda di Volpe and Falanghina) and structured and fragrant extra virgin olive oil. Do not miss the sausages and sausages of pork, fruit of a long Norse tradition, cheese and fragrant baked goods, such as bread, biscuits and taralli.
