Here the ruins of the Benedictine dormitory dedicated to San Giovanni Evangelista, built on an ancient settlement dating back to the Greek era, are still clearly visible. The monastery, which represents the last settlement on Monte Rossomanno, remained active until 1850. The site was then abandoned following the killing of the last hermit in an attempted robbery that took place in that year. Since then, the church and convent have fallen into a total state of decay and ruin (so you have to pay attention if you want to visit them from the inside)

Be careful if you decide to take a look from inside, cause everything seems and really is very unstable.
