The ancient city of Castrum Novum was built in the Middle Ages.

«The medieval village of Castelnuovo was part of the fief of the Agnello family from Senerchia. The current toponym, adding Cilento, was adopted in 1861, after the Italian unification.

Castelnuovo is a town located on a hill above the plain of river Alento, next to the town of Vallo della Lucania and the Ancient Greek city of Velia. It is part of Cilento and is included into its national park.

 

The municipality borders with Ascea, Casal Velino, Ceraso, Salento and Vallo della Lucania. It counts the hamlets (frazioni) of Velina (formerly known as Casalvelino Scalo), Vallo Scalo (shared with Casal Velino) and the rural locality of Salicuneta»
