Pertosa is a small village in the Tanagro Valley, known for its connection to the nearby Pertosa-Auletta Caves. Its stone houses, quiet streets, and valley viewpoints lend it a welcoming, rural atmosphere. Strolling through the center, you'll discover internal courtyards, ancient fountains, and glimpses of the Alburni Mountains.

Auletta is a village overlooking the Tanagro Valley, characterized by a stone historic center, medieval alleys, and panoramic terraces overlooking the Alburni Mountains. Walking or cycling through its streets, you'll find ancient buildings, small squares, and the tranquil atmosphere of the Salerno hinterland.

The Pertosa-Auletta Caves, also known as the Angel Caves, are one of the most fascinating speleological complexes in Campania, famous for their navigable underground river: the only one in Italy and one of the few in Europe. The cave system extends for over three kilometers beneath the Alburni Mountains, through immense chambers, ancient concretions, and natural light effects.

Absolutely worth a visit, a town that has remained authentic and is unfortunately depopulating, but which has so much to offer.

I was fortunate enough to meet Francesco from the Pro Loco tourist office (find the number outside the church, or ask in town), who guided us for about an hour to discover this sacred cave. An unexpected and truly worthwhile experience with several surprises, absolutely worth it.

I hope you get a chance to meet Ettore, the volunteer who runs the observatory and currently the only person in the world who knows how to use the telescope inside. Spending a night here on an observing day must be fantastic.

Piazza S. Vito is the main square of Contursi Terme.

The Sanctuary of Santa Maria Incoronata delle Grazie, (entitled to the Madonna delle Grazie) is one of the Marian sanctuaries of Campania. Located in the district of the same name in the municipality of Contursi Terme, it was named a sanctuary in 1901 and a minor basilica in 1959. Inside was kept a statue depicting the Virgin Mary seated with the Child Jesus at her breast: it is probably the same statue that is still venerated inside the Sanctuary today, even if it has been modified several times over time. This statue of the Madonna is said to be seated on the original trunk of an oak tree, where it is said to have appeared in ancient times. The year was 1656. The Kingdom of Naples was hit by a tragic plague epidemic. Particularly in the Valle del Sele, this disease halved the population in each town or town.
