Small chapel from 1833 built on a rock along Scario's seafront, with a statue of St Anne carved from an olive trunk.

Built in 1833, the chapel of Sant'Anna stands on a rock at one of the most beautiful spots on the Scario seafront. It is one of those places where faith and landscape meet: we like to reach it by strolling along the sea, perhaps at sunset, when the light makes the little church overlooking the water even more evocative.Inside you will find three altars: the main one is dedicated to St Anne, depicted in a very unusual statue carved from an olive trunk. We recommend pausing on this detail, which links devotion to the wood of Cilento's symbolic tree, and then enjoying the view over the gulf from the rocks.
