Church of Santa Barbara in Salento

Late 17th-century Baroque parish church dedicated to the patron of Salento, with a modern bell tower modelled on that of Loreto.
Salento, a hill village in Cilento that until 1863 was called Sala di Gioi, has its main sacred building in the Church of Santa Barbara. The parish church was built at the end of the 17th century and shows a marked Baroque taste, which strikes us with the care of its lines and decoration.We suggest looking at the bell tower: it is a recent work and reproduces on a smaller scale that of the basilica of Loreto. St Barbara is the village's patron and is celebrated on 4 December, with a votive feast also at the end of July: two good opportunities to experience the village at its most heartfelt.
