Church of San Nicola in the hamlet of Monte Cicerale, around which the houses of the small hill village cluster.

On the same height that dominates Cicerale, a few kilometres from the main town, lies the hamlet of Monte Cicerale, a small settlement whose houses huddle around the Church of San Nicola. The building is the heart of the village and bears witness to the community's ancient bond with the holy bishop of Myra, venerated throughout southern Italy.We like coming up here to breathe the intimate atmosphere of a Cilento village off the beaten track, where the church and little square are still the residents' meeting place. We suggest climbing at a gentle pace, perhaps in the late afternoon, to enjoy the panorama over the surrounding hills before continuing to the centre of Cicerale.
