    Village of San Giovanni: it is an ancient village founded in Tresino around the year 1000, uninhabited since the 18th century due to the development of nearby towns (Castellabate and Agropoli) and the progressive abandonment of the countryside. The village is frequented only by curious groups, tourists and farmers. The urban settlement had developed around the church of San Giovanni Battista 998 AD, favored by the presence of water sources, the climate, and the characteristics of the territory, ideal for practicing livestock and agriculture. In this context, made up of several houses, barns, stables and a school building attached to the church, Costabile Gentilcore, founder of Castellabate, was born.

      Remains of an ancient village abandoned during the 18th century due to the greater development of nearby towns such as Castellabate and Agropoli. The church, the school, and various buildings used as homes, barns or stables can be recognized.

          San Costabile was born right on Monte Tresino, and is still recognized as the patron saint of Castellabate. The only Saint from Cilento seated at the glory of the altars, he grew up and trained from the age of 7 in the Abbey of the Holy Trinity in Cava dé Tirreni from where he often returned to his native land to preach love for the Christ who had him captivated as a boy and then called him, in the glory of Paradise, on 17 February 1124 at just over 53 years of age.
          The castle population had already proclaimed him Patron, entrusting him with the growth and development of the town perched on a hill overlooking the entire coastal strip dotted with the important inhabited centers of Santa Maria, San Marco, Ogliastro Marina and Lago with the islet of Licosa in a few hundred meters from the Punta of the same name.
