Old chapel in the cemetery of Prignano Cilento, the only surviving trace of the original village, predating the 14th century.

Inside the cemetery of Prignano Cilento stands the Chapel of Saints Cosmas and Damian, a small sacred building built before the 14th century. It lies on the site of the old village of Prignano, now vanished, and is its only surviving trace.We are moved to think that these walls saw the birth of the community from which the present village grew. We suggest visiting with the respect the place deserves, perhaps after a stroll in the centre, to grasp the link between past and present in this Cilento village overlooking the Alento valley.
