Calitri (Irpino: Calìtr) is a town and comune in the province of Avellino, Campania, Italy.

It is approximately 530 metres (1,740 ft) above sea level so on even on the hottest day there is generally a breeze.

The Antico Borgo is in the oldest section of the town, the centro storico, at the top of which are the remains of a castle which predates the 12th century.

The Castello at the top of its distinctive cone shaped hilltop is very impressive for its strong architectural forms.

Other recent excavation and reconstruction of an ancient Neviera in the Gagliano section of the town above the cemetery reveals an extensive underground, domed, ice-house of about 15 metres (50 ft) in height and 7.6 metres (25 ft) in horizontal circumference.
