16th-century chapel at Capodarmi, on the edge of the Corleto Monforte ravine, with views over the Calore valley.

The Chapel of San Teodoro is at Capodarmi, the western end of the village, on the edge of the ravine overlooking the valley below. The portal's architrave bears the date of construction, 1500, and according to local tradition the site was a place of worship even in pre-Christian times.Restored after long neglect, the chapel holds inside a statue of the Virgin in Byzantine style. We like reaching it at sunset: from the balcony-like square the view stretches over the Calore valley and the Alburni mountains. We suggest pausing a few minutes in silence to enjoy the panorama.
