    Hiking

    The Church of San Giovanni Crisostomo (also known as 'San Giovannello'), internally presents the Pròthesis and the Diaconicon and an ancient cistern, and has two doors, one for the faithful and one for the nearby monastery. Elevated to a Byzantine parish in the 1990s, it respects the Byzantine tradition with the apse facing east.

    Hiking

    The Church of San Francesco is a significant structure of the mendicant orders in Southern Italy, dating back to the late 13th and early 14th centuries. It consists of a rectangular hall and a quadrangular presbytery, which houses the sarcophagus of Nicola Ruffo of Calabria from 1374. The baroque altar in inlaid marble, from the 1660s, is also notable. The structure overlooks the Three Churches Square, formed in the 1980s after the destruction of a vegetable garden of the ancient monastery of San Giovanni Chrysostom.
