Church of Santa Barbara at Copersito, a hamlet of Torchiara, a 16th-century parish beside the de Vita baronial palace.

In the small hamlet of Copersito, in the municipality of Torchiara, the Church of Santa Barbara has watched over the village since the 16th century, when the parish was established. The building stands against the de Vita baronial palace, home of a family present in the area since the 15th century, and together they form the village's historic core.We like the intimate scale of this corner of Cilento, where church and palace tell of the bond between the community and old feudal families. We suggest reaching Copersito with a short detour from Torchiara and strolling among its stone houses, enjoying the quiet of the surrounding hills.
