In the hamlet of San Domenico in Roccamonfina, a 17th-century church and convent founded through a bequest, with three naves and a wooden choir.

On the slopes of the extinct Roccamonfina volcano, the hamlet named after San Domenico preserves the church and convent of the same name. The complex was built in the 17th century thanks to a bequest from Gian Nicola Fusco, who wished to link his name to this religious foundation surrounded by greenery.The church has three naves and still holds a fine wooden choir, a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. We suggest including the visit in an excursion around Roccamonfina, among chestnut woods and stone villages: we like the idea of alternating nature and history, discovering quiet places off the beaten track.
