    Going towards Casamicciola, to the right of the port, you see the Castiglione wood; just before reaching it there is the small hill of Sant'Alessandro, ending towards the sea in a small beach, called "of the English". On the hill, along the ramps, there is a 13th century chapel, with a rectangular plan, extrados vaulted roof and rustic facade, which is a typical example of minor Ischia architecture. Founded on the initiative of the Di Manso family of ancient Benevento origins, owner of the whole hill, it was dedicated to the martyr pope Sant'Alessandro. Near the church, the Di Mansos had a small building, inserted in an older complex, of which today only a lava stone portal from the 15th century in the "Durazzesco-Catalan" style remains, whose architectural solution of the arc tangent to the rectangular molding represents a unicum on the island, while equivalents are found in Naples in the Bonifacio and Penne palaces.
