Convent Ruins

Even as a ruin it is still very impressive.

Crossing of the Tusciano river, with a picnic area in the immediate vicinity

Convent of Constantinople, beautiful to see, pity it is closed

This is the Cantariello Spring, also known as the Tannera River. It can be reached from the Pinzarrino bridge where the CAI 114b begins. You have to cross the Tannera stream many times, so equip yourself with non-slip shoes and trekking poles or choose to get wet and therefore have spare clothes (socks, shoes)

very well kept exteriors, it's a pity that we were unable to visit the interior of the convent and the garden because the gates were closed.

The defensive building is set between two natural rock towers in a locality in the hamlet of Felitto, in an inaccessible place that dominates the entire valley below. The fortress was surrounded by a triple wall, the first of which can still be identified by some fragments incorporated in the current urbanization; the second, halfway up the slope, still has the watchtowers and the entrance to the Castrum intact; the third with two quadrangular towers was placed to guard the central nucleus built at maximum height. In the factories, the re-use of clay fragments and previous constructions is visible. The various rooms in which the inhabitants' daily activities took place are still clearly evident: three cisterns for collecting rainwater, halls, service area, halls, suspended arches and more. Between the second and third walls, the vast residential settlement can still be identified, positioned on a vast, mainly flat surface. In this area the ruins of a Christian church outline the small nave and the apse.

Abandoned in 1806, the Convent of Santa Maria in Costantinopoli is part of the archaeological complex of Olevano sul Tusciano. It is worth stopping to admire the view and imagine what the Convent was like before it was abandoned.
