Top 7 Caves エボリでの

Beautiful hike, I recommend equipment, sturdy shoes

While walking along path 110, if you pay attention, you can see the Grotta di San Michele e Nardantuono, nestled in the side of Mount Raione.

The cave of San Michele Arcangelo is a natural cavity located on the western slope of Monte Raione in the municipality of Olevano sul Tusciano in the province of Salerno. Inside there is a religious complex of the IX-X century. The entrance to the cavity is located on a limestone ridge of the mountain, close to the Tusciano river. It is accessed via two paths: one starts from the hamlet of Ariano and the other starts from the hamlet of Salitto. The two paths join just before the cave, ending with a stairway. The peculiarity of the site is the presence within it of a complex religious structure of particular historical significance, made up of five buildings of considerable value called martyrion, a single hall basilica with frescoes from the Lombard era, two votive aedicules with courtyard, a church and an oratory.

How far is it from Parco San Michele?

The "grotta dei Briganti", located at the foot of Monte Ripalta, is one of the many caves in the countryside of the countryside, it has been for years a safe haven for criminals, Brigands or for those who had problems in the town, as its position did not it was easy to access. In fact, until the 70s of the last century, the road below did not exist, the steep slope plunged directly into the nearby river Atri, it could be reached either via the river or from the Patia bridge located near the chapel of the Madonna dell Thanks to the fattening of the Old Town. In the present cave we can still see an opening at the top left, which leads to a path that, through considerable difficulties, at 850 m a.s.l., leads to the so-called 2grotta del Prete ", the cave where the" Banda Giardullo "held hostage the priest Giuseppe Olivieri during the kidnapping which took place in 1864. These events fall within the historical period of the "Brigandage" and what resulted from the unification of Italy.
