Description
A few kilometers from the town center, along a stretch of the ancient Via Appia Traiana, you reach the suggestive resort of San Vito.
Here, in this area of great archaeological importance, stands the medieval San Vito Abbey, which imposes on the visitor's gaze for its majestic appearance.
The legend of the Basilian monks who escaped from the East tells of the rug in the year 801 of Princess Florenza, with the relics of the saint and its precursors, Modesto and Crescenza, which are then kept inside the building.
Mansion of the Friars Minor Convent of the SS. Apostles from the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries, the abbey in 1785 became part of the properties of Regio Demanio.
The monastic complex is annexed to a small, well-preserved Romanesque church with three naves, separated by regular pillars.
Today it belongs to Marquises La Greca, who make the small chapel available for Sunday religious functions.
