The name derives probably from the medieval Latin castrum villarum, meaning "fortress of the villas". The city was founded by the Aragonese, which built the famous Castle. The town is situated in the middle of a huge arena shaped by big mountains, like Pollino (2248) and Dolcedorme (2273). This is the area of Pollino natural park, one of the biggest of Europe.
