A three-nave church in the historic centre of Roccabascerana, dedicated to the patron saints George and Leonard, celebrated on 23 April.

In the historic centre of Roccabascerana, a hill village that grew up around a Norman tower on the slopes of Monte Partenio, we find the church of Saints George and Leonard. It is the work of local Campanian craftsmen and has a rectangular plan with three naves, closed by an apse at the end of the central nave: a simple, harmonious layout that we really like.The church is dedicated to the village's two patron saints, celebrated together on 23 April. We suggest visiting it on a stroll through the lanes of the old village, where you will also come across the baronial palace known as the Prince's Palace and the other historic churches, in a landscape that opens onto the valley of the Corvo stream.
