Parish church of San Gennaro at Gorga, a hamlet of Stio in inland Cilento, heart of the small village community.

At Gorga, an old village joined to the municipality of Stio in 1806, the Church of San Gennaro is the seat of the parish of the same name in the diocese of Vallo della Lucania. It stands along the street named after Monsignor Stromillo and is the community's meeting point, in a landscape of hills and woods typical of inland Cilento.We like discovering Gorga at leisure, among stone lanes and views over the valley: we suggest pairing the visit to the church with a taste of the renowned fagioli regina di Gorga (Gorga queen beans), a local speciality, and a walk to the centre of Stio, a few kilometres away.
