Church in the hamlet of Nazareth on the Camaldoli, partly carved into the tuff, with rare 14th- and 15th-century frescoes.

In the small hamlet of Nazareth, on the Camaldoli hill, the church of San Giovanni Battista is one of the most important artistic treasures of the area. The rectangular building has an apse and niches carved into the tuff.Inside are 14th-century frescoes, such as the Baptism of Christ, and 15th-century ones, including a Crucifixion and an Annunciation: rare examples of International Gothic in Campania. Worth the climb.
