* '''''Roman theatre''''': begun during [[Hadrian]]'s rule, completed under [[Caracalla]] between 200 and 210 A.D. The theater reflects the town's increasing importance after the opening of the [[Via Appia Traiana]]. It was located in the western sector of the ancient city, near the forum, and houses built atop the ruins aided in its conservation. Excavated and restored after the second world war, the original three-storey theater could house 20,000 people. Currently only the lower order of the building remains: the arches of the facade communicate with the interior through a series of corridors alternating with stairs. <ref>{{Cite book|last=Zevi|first=L.|title=Guida a Benevento|publisher=Edizioni Dedalo|year=1993|page=62}}</ref>
* '''''Sant'Ilario'''''  Church documented in the 12th-century ''Ecclesia Vocabolo Sancti Ylari''", but excavations date part of the structure to 7th or 8th century. It is called Sant'Ilario a Port'Aurea, as it is built near the Arch of Trajan. The rectangular layout was erected on an artificial embankment. In late antiquity, the entire complex was abandoned. The church is composed of an apsed hall. The cover of the outside is formed by two separate tiburi. A monastery was once attached to the church. Devastated by the earthquake of 1688, in 1712 it was deconsecrated and used as a farmhouse. The restoration of the entire building was carried out in 2000.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Gangale|first=Lucia|title=25 luoghi imperdibili della città di Benevento|publisher=youcanprint|year=2018|page=15}}</ref>
* '''''Palazzo di Paolo V''''' (16th century). 
* '''''San Salvatore''''': Church dating from the High Middle Ages.
* '''''San Francesco alla Dogana''''': [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]]-style church located north-east of Piazza del Duomo, incorporated between alleys and palaces in the heart of the historic center, there is Piazza Dogana with the church and convent of San Francesco. Here stood the papal customs, through which the goods passed and were taxed. The thirteenth-century church of San Francesco, that stands in the center of the square, is linked to the coming of the saint in the city, in 1222. It was built by incorporating the ancient church of San Costanzo, which in 1243 was donated to the religious from lords Stampalupo, Del Giudice and Cantalupo. After the earthquake of 1702, the architects Fontana rebuilt the high altar, which Archbishop Vincenzo Maria Orsini consecrated to the Immaculate Virgin. The facade is very simple, the interior, Gothic style, with a single nave with wooden ceiling. The apse has some frescoes and the church is flanked by two cloisters.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Gangale|first=Lucia|title=25 luoghi imperdibili della città di Benevento|publisher=youcanprint|year=2018|pages=31–32}}</ref>
*'''''Annunziata''''': A church at the site existed prior to 1500s, but entirely rebuilt in [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]]-style after the 1688 earthquake. The church has a single nave with three side chapels on each side.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Zevi|first=L.|title=Guida a Benevento|publisher=Edizioni Dedalo|year=1993|pages=70}}</ref>
**'''''San Bartolomeo''''': Baroque church dedicated to the patron apostle of the city. It was rebuilt  after the 1688 and 1702 earthquakes, the prior basilica of San Bartolomeo had stood in the area of Piazza Orsini, adjacent to the cathedral. In 1705, a large baroque fountain was built at the prior site, but destroyed by bombings in 1943. The new basilica, located along Corso Garibaldi, was built between 1726 and 1729 and consecrated by [[Pope Benedict XIII]]. The present church, although partially using a primitive project by Fra Tommaso di Sangiovanni (prior of San Diodato), is in fact the work of Raguzzini to whom we owe not only some substantial planovolumetric modifications, but also the elegant stucco decorations and the two-tiered front overlapping on high plinth.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Zevi|first=L.|title=Guida a Benevento|publisher=Edizioni Dedalo|year=1993|page=68}}</ref>
