15th-century Church of San Bernardino da Siena in Torchiara, with three altars and a reliquary of the saint on the high altar.

In Torchiara, the Church of San Bernardino da Siena takes us back to the 15th century, when the cult of the Sienese preacher spread rapidly in southern Italy too. It is a compact building with an intimate atmosphere, a testimony to the long religious history of this small municipality in hilly Cilento.Inside there are three altars: the high altar holds a case with the relics of St Bernardino, while the two smaller side altars are adorned with stucco decoration. We suggest combining the visit with the Church of the Santissimo Salvatore, for a short itinerary among the village's historic churches.
