Ispani is a town and comune in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of south-western Italy. The first documented traces of populations in the municipal territory date back to the Norman period of southern Italy, after King Roger I built here a castle (now largely disappeared) in 1055.

Geography

Located in southern Cilento, Ispani is a hilltown nearby the Cilentan Coast, few km far from Sapri, Policastro and Villammare. The municipality borders with Santa Marina and Vibonati and counts two hamlets (frazioni): Capitello, by the sea, and San Cristoforo.
