Church of San Giovanni in Mercogliano
- Visit: about 20 min
Church of medieval origin with a 1586 altarpiece by the Flemish painter Aert Mytens and a small square with a view over the valley.
The origins of this church date back to 1102. Inside we find marble altars, statues of saints and several paintings, among which the high altar canvas stands out, painted in 1586 by the Flemish artist Aert Mytens: for us it is the main reason for the visit.On your way out, we recommend stopping in the small square next to the church: from here there is a splendid view over the valley, with the Abbey of Loreto slightly to the left and Avellino in the background. We like coming here towards evening, when the light is softer.
