Arienzo is a town and comune in the Province of Caserta, Campania, southern Italy. It is located across the Appian Way.
==Main sights== On the hill above the town are the ruins of the medieval castle dismantled by Roger II of Sicily in 1135 during his struggle against rebellious barons. The new town ("Terra Murata", which means walled or fortified town) was built at the foot of the hill under the king's supervision and has remained intact to this day.
