The church of Santa Maria del Carmelo in Sant'Angelo all'Esca, seat of a confraternity, built in phases between 1756 and 1886.

In Sant'Angelo all'Esca, a ridge-top village overlooking the Calore valley and the Fredane stream, stands the church of Santa Maria del Carmelo, known as the church of the Madonna del Carmine. It is a building made by Campanian craftsmen and traditionally the seat of a confraternity, one of those places where the religious and social life of the village intertwine.Its construction history falls between 1756 and 1886, according to the cultural heritage catalogue. We like discovering it on a stroll through this small village, largely rebuilt after the 1980 earthquake, which preserves the house of the philosopher Paolo Raffaele Troiano and some noble palaces.
