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.

The young entrepreneur Morese wanted to do things big, and to finance the works of the plant he generously drew from his family assets. Thus was born, totally self-financed, the elegant structure consisting of ".. everything that modern therapy prescribes .. from cold and hot baths, to Russian ones - from the highly perfected system - from Turkish baths to showers, irrigations, etc.".

Near the "Parco San Michele", you can reach the "Grotta dei travertini". Sturdy shoes are recommended. Unfortunately, the path is poorly maintained.
