Parish church of Eredita, the most populous hamlet of Ogliastro Cilento, dedicated to St John the Baptist.

In the hamlet of Eredita, the most populous in Ogliastro Cilento, the Church of San Giovanni Battista is the parish seat, in the diocese of Vallo della Lucania. The village, nestled at the foot of a hill not far from the main town, is already mentioned in documents in the early 12th century.We suggest stopping here during a tour of the Alento hills, among olive groves and small rural settlements. We like the intimate scale of Eredita, where the church is still the community's meeting point on feast days.
