The abandonment of the medieval village of San Severino di Centola occurred during the nineteenth century and in the first half of the twentieth century. The old houses perched on the rock were difficult to access, for these reasons the inhabitants of the village began to move further downstream, where the current railway station of Centola - Palinuro - Marina di Camerota stands.

In reality, some houses in old San Severino continued to host some families and only in 1977 did the chapel of the old village stop being the church of the community of San Severino.

Medieval village of San Severino di Centola vecchia represents an enchanted place, where time stopped at the beginning of the 1900s. The strategic position, the houses, the castle, the chapels, and many other details make the medieval village of San Severino one of the most fascinating places in Cilento.

San Severino di Centola, the medieval village

Suggestive 11th century village

The village of medieval origin born between the 10th and 11th centuries was definitively abandoned over a period of 50 years in the last century following the execution in 1888 of the Pisciotta-Maratea railway line.
