Castellabate grew around the castle, founded in 1123, which served the population as shelter from raids by the Saracens. Alleys full of corners, arcades, labyrinth stairways lead through the intact ancient town centre. Not without reason Castellabate was declared UNESCO world cultural heritage.
Castellabate earliest reference in literature is possible by Homer, but the written history of the territory is tied to Saint Costabile Gentilcore (St. Constabilis), fourth abbot of La Trinità della Cava. In 1123, the same year in which he was elevated to the position of abbot, he started construction on the Angel's Castle (10 October 1123), which afterwards became entitled to him. His title gave the village its present name: Castrum Abbatis, the castle of the abbot. His abbacy lasted until 17 February 1124. His successor, Simeon, completed its construction and helped the inhabitants.
Later, Castellabate fell under the control of the barony of the Cilento. It then passed, in turn, to Caracciolo, Loffredo, Filomarino, Acquaviva, and finally the Granito family (who carried the title of marquis and later became princes by marriage) in 1745. Castellabate remained in the family of the Prince of Belmonte until the end of the feudal era.
Castellabate's cuisine is based on local products: wine, olive oil, cheese (such as mozzarella), garbanzo beans, salami, and confections made with figs.The original tomatoe's Cilentane is from this area and are called the best tomatoes in the world.
