Agerola is the springboard for enriching the heart with higher emotions that belong only to the beauties of nature. Abandon earthly thoughts and leave room for the regeneration of each and every atom.
Routes carved into a landscape of great charm, winding between green and blue, through valleys, forests, rivers, waterfalls and flower meadows rich in rare species. Some of these evocative routes, taking paths and mule tracks traced in their time by shepherds and peasants, connect rural nuclei that speak of remote customs and traditions; others reach villages, hermitages, and beaches that have maintained their specificity intact over the centuries and today constitute jewels of history and culture, recognized throughout the world.
ITINERARIO DEL GENERALE
An imposing evergreen oak seems to stand as guard to what remains of General Avitabile Castle's stables.
IL CIRCUITO DEL PENISE
We start from Piazza XXIV Maggio, where the Madonna delle Grazie Church is located, dating back to the 16th century. A few steps away, the Madonna di Loreto Church offers inside various paintings by Mozzillo, floors and altars dating back to the Baroque period and the funeral mausoleum of General Avitabile.
CIRCUITO TRE CALLI
Pleasant "climb" to the M. Three Calli group, part of a circuit leading back to the starting point. The path requires, especially in the first part, a good deal of physical effort, which is amply repaid upon reaching the summit by an enchanting 360 degree view of the Gulf of Salerno, Sorrento, Capri, the basin of Agerola and of the other peaks of M. Lattari chain
ITINERARIO DEI PONTI
A few meters to the right of the Madonnina del Forestiero, there is a small road which in the past, was the only connection between Bomerano and Ponte: a walk down memory lane Here you will encounter rare plants but also architectural elements dating back to the Midole Ages, such as rocky steps or the old bridge that crosses a river, on whose shores are caves and prehistoric traces which evoke unparalleled sensations in the visitor. After a short distance the path reaches the road, continue to the right to visit the Church of St. Nicholas of Bari, in Ponte, with an altarpiece by Vaccaro. On leaving the church, continue on the uphill road, after a few hundred meters, turn in an alley, in the shadow of the town cemetery walls, then cross the old Bomerano bridge, reach Piazza Captain Paolo Capasso, First World War gold medal to the memory. Here you can visit the Church of St. Matthew the Apostle, and nearby, the Church of the Immaculate Conception, dating from the seventeenth century. The walk ends back to the piazzetta Madonnina del Forestiero.
