Benedictine Abbey present in the hamlet of San Vito and built close to the characteristic small port. This structure, consisting of a church and a convent currently converted to residential use appears to have been built around the 9th century and looks like a Romanesque building with three naves.

In addition to being a building of objective beauty, this Abbey hides a fascinating story waiting to be discovered regarding its construction, which apparently took place thanks to a princess of Salerno, Fiorenza.

The story goes that the girl risked drowning during a storm from the Sele river, until San Vito appeared to her and avoided the worst. The Saint then asked her to bring his remains to Puglia. Fiorenza, extremely grateful to her savior, decided to fulfill her will and to bring her relics to this location, buying some farms in the Castrum and donating them to the Benedictine friars.
