A sanctuary founded in 1959 by Luigi Gedda at the foot of Monte Calpazio, overlooking the Sele plain and the Gulf of Salerno.

At the foot of Monte Calpazio, in Capaccio, stands the sanctuary of Gethsemane, dedicated to the Agony of Jesus. It was founded in 1959 by Professor Luigi Gedda as a place of prayer, training and encounter for southern Italy, and today it is still also a spirituality house welcoming groups and retreats.We love the silence of this place, set among oaks and olive trees, with a panorama stretching over the Sele plain to the Gulf of Salerno. We recommend walking up to the marble statue of Jesus at prayer, the symbolic heart of the sanctuary, and allowing yourself a quiet pause before or after visiting the temples.
