Church of 1538 at Castelluccio Cosentino, linked to the legend of a rock turned into a Madonna.

In the hamlet of Castelluccio Cosentino, the Church of Santa Maria dei Martiri was built in 1538, with a single nave. Beneath the apse, frescoes and a 16th-century statue of the Madonna and Child are preserved.We are fascinated by its legend: here stood a human-looking rock that seemed to watch over travellers; beside it a shrine with Byzantine frescoes arose, and the rock itself was carved into a Madonna and Child. We suggest having the story told to you on site.
