A church in Castelcivita dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Bari, whose sacristy holds the Holy Face by the painter known as Pietrafesa.

In the village of Castelcivita, on the slopes of the Alburni, the Church of San Nicola di Bari is one of the community's most important places of worship. We like to visit it during a walk through the historic centre, which preserves the layout of the medieval fortified village.The treasure not to be missed is in the sacristy: the painting of the Holy Face by Giovanni De Gregorio, known as Pietrafesa, a 17th-century painter from Basilicata. We recommend asking at the parish whether you can see it and rounding off the day with a visit to the Angevin Tower and the nearby caves.
