The origin of Celso is linked to the figure of some families from Pollica who, to escape the infighting of their country, took refuge higher up the hill: it still retains the ancient urban structure, which makes it a particularly characteristic place, especially in the districts of San Biase and Valle. Many houses are adorned with defensive towers, placed to guard massive driveways, which allow the passage of only one person at a time.

It is a very ancient village built entirely with local stones. It has a baronial palace of great beauty and a stone church in a panoramic position over the valleys. It is located close to a dense and uncontaminated wooded area. The square passes under the Mazziotti palace and continues with an avenue of unusual charm. It is a place of the soul surrounded by a nature of rare beauty.

Small village, part of the Municipality of Pollica.
As we read on the official website of the municipality, the origin of Celso is linked to the figure of some families from Pollica who, to escape the infighting of their country, took refuge higher up the hill: it still retains the ancient urban structure , which makes it a particularly characteristic place, especially in the districts of San Biase and Valle. Many houses are adorned with defensive towers, placed to guard massive driveways, which allow the passage of only one person at a time.
Among the places of historical interest there is the Mazziotti Baronial Palace, now a national monument. Matteo Mazziotti was born here, a distinguished scholar of the Cilento Risorgimento and a parliamentarian in the post-war period.
The Church of Celso is dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. Built in local stone and decorated with terracotta frames, it has a very low bell tower compared to the architectural complex, built in the eighteenth century.
The small church of San Giovanni, built in the early 1500s, stands on the rural road towards Casal Velino. It belongs to the nucleus of the ancient village of Praganito, a village abandoned in the 12th century.
