Capua, derived from the ancient Etruscan word Capeva, holds the meaning City of Marshes, and it lives up to its name. This charming city celebrates its patron saint, St. Agatha, on the 5th of February. The neighboring Santa Maria Capua Vetere, lovingly referred to as Old Capua, pays tribute to its saint patrons, St. Simmachus and Blessed Virgin Maria Assunta, on the 22nd of October and the 15th of August respectively.
