Even if the new centre is on the seashore, the most attractive beauties of Casamicciola are on the hills around.

On the Sentinella, where the beautiful panoramic view make us understand why the european high society chose Casamicciola as holidays destination, there is the Bourbonic Geophysical Observatory. In its interiors there is a small museum of the instruments used at those times for observations of earthquakes and a collection of volcanic rocks.

On the border dividing from the municipality of Ischia, on Monte Rotaro, there are the Bosco del Castiglione (Castle's Wood) on the side facing the sea, and the Bosco della Maddalena (Magdalene's Wood) on the side towards inland. The latter is 45 hectares wide and occupies the whole Fondo d'Oglio between Monte Rotaro and Monte Cretaio.

These hills were once all volcanic craters and the fertile ground of lavic origin produced a luxuriant vegetation. From the originary volcanic activities they remain testimonies in some Fumarole still active and visible inside the wood.

Because of the earthquakes which stroke Casamicciola in the past, there are not many historic buildings to visit. Besides the Pio Monte della Misericordia, reconstruction of the first thermal establishment in the isle of Ischia, we can mention the churches of the Holy Hearth, Saint Gabriel, San Pasquale, of the Good Advice, of Our Immaculate Lady.

The parish church of Saint Magdalene keep an altar of the 17th century, saved from the previous ruined church, and a statue of Magdalene givento the church by Francis II of Bourbon when he was in exile.
