Places to see in ( Vico Equense - Italy )
A beautiful town, situated not far from Sorrento, on a promontory overlooking the sea and dominated by the mass of Mount Faito (1400 meters), Vico Equense is famous for its sulphurous springs with well known therapeutic properties, and for being the home of the pizza sold by the meter.
The town's name has clearly Roman origins and it derives from vicus (small village) to which was added aequensis, which means of the knights. Although one of the favorite destinations of the Roman patricians, that built here their Summer villas, ancient findings evidence that the area was already inhabited by the Italic peoples, at first, Greek and Etruscan, later. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the town experienced the destructive fury of the barbarian invasions at command of the Goths King Teia.
In the XIII century, Vico gained its independence from Sorrento and from its dukedom, and during the wars of succession between France and Spain, the community swore allegiance to the French. Besides the undeniable natural beauty, Vico Equense also offers an important historical and architectural heritage:
- the Cathedral of the Annunciation, dating from the XIV century, the only example of the Gothic style in the Sorrento area. Inside are preserved a carved choir, precious pieces of furniture, frescoes and paintings of great value and engraved tombs, in one of which rest the remains of the famous Neapolitan economist Gaetano Filangieri;
- the Chapel of the Assumption, which already existed in the XV century and features a fine wooden altar of the XVIII century;
- the Church of Our Lady of Graces, originally built in the XV century and rebuilt in the XVI;
- the Church and former Convent of the Holy Trinity and Paradise a complex built in the XVIII century, today seat, in the Summer, of events, exhibitions and theatrical performances;
- the Church of Saints Ciro and Giovanni, with its beautiful XVIII century majolica covered dome;
- the XVI century Church of Santa Maria del Toro, which preserves inside a fine carved and decorated coffered ceiling, a frescoed dome and an important fresco of the Renaissance period behind the altar;
- the Chapel of Saint Anthony, in Marina d'Equa;
- the XVI century Church of Santa Maria Vecchia, in Seiano, which houses numerous votive offerings of the sailors in the area;
- the circular planned Church of San Marco, completed in 1796;
- the Chapel of the Crucifix and the Immaculate Conception, in the district of Seiano;
- the Church of San Salvatore, in the homonymous village;
- the Chapel of Saint Lucia (XIV century), depicted inside with wonderful frescoes in Giotto style;
- the Church of St. John the Baptist, with the splendid XVI century altarpiece depicting the Madonna del Rosario, a plaque of the Angevin period and the bell, that is the main feature of the façade;
- the Church of St. Mary of the Castle, of ancient origins, from where it is possible to admire a beautiful view over the nearby town of Positano;
- the Church of St. Michael the Archangel, in which is preserved a Roman tombstone of the III-IV century A.D. and a block of black tuff stone, on which are engraved a cross and Greek inscription, datable to about 1000 years earlier;
- the XVIII century Church of St. Andrew the Apostle with a fine-looking ceramic tiled floor;
- the Convent of St. Francis (XVII century), from where it is possible to admire the entire Gulf of Naples. Interesting is the ceramic pavement of the Refectory and the XVII century fresco depicting la Cena (the supper).
- the Convent complex of the Camaldolese friars in the district of Arola;
- the Tower Caporio in Marina d'Equa;
- the Tower Scutolo in the district of Montechiaro;
- the Angevin castle, which was damaged several times over the centuries;
- the medieval Castle, built in the X century by the Duke of Sorrento;

The Monumental Complex of St. Chiara, including the Church, the Monastery and the Convent, had been raised since 1310 to 1328 by the will of the King Roberto d’Angiò and his wife Sancia of Majorca. The sovereigns, both devoted to St. Francis of Assisi and St. Chiara, wanted to build a Franciscan citadel that housed in the Convent the Clarisses and in the contiguous Monastery the Friars Minor. The Church, central nucleus of the whole complex, rose with the title of Saint Host or Sacred Body of Christ, dedication suggested by the Eucharistic Miracle of Bolsena, happened in 1264; the denomination changed immediately in Santa Chiara, probably for the extraordinary number of Clarisses introduces in the Convent.

Enclosed religious order, Ronda, Province of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain, Europe
Enclosed religious orders of the Christian churches have solemn vows with a strict separation from the affairs of the external world. The term cloistered is synonymous with enclosed. The enclosure is regulated by Catholic church law. Rather strictly enforced in the past, it has taken nowadays a more a symbolic value of separation from the world. The stated purpose for such enclosure is to prevent distraction from prayer and the religious life. Enclosed religious orders of men include the Benedictine monks, Bethlehem monks, Carthusian monks, Cistercian monks, Hieronymite monks, Trappist monks, and some Carmelite monks branches, and enclosed religious orders of women include the Augustinian nuns, Order of Bethlehem nuns, Carmelite nuns, Carthusian nuns, Conceptionist nuns, Minim nuns, Poor Clare nuns, Visitationist nuns, monasteries of Benedictine nuns, Dominican nuns and some Ursulines. The English word monk most properly refers to men in monastic life, while the term friar more properly refers to mendicants active in the broader world (like Franciscans, Dominicans and Augustinians), though not all monasteries require strict enclosure. Benedictine monks, e.g., have often staffed parishes and been allowed to leave monastery confines. Although the English word nun is often used to describe all Christian women who have joined religious institutes, strictly speaking, women are referred to as nuns only when they live in enclosure, otherwise they are religious sisters. The distinctions between the Christian terms monk, nun, friar, Brother, and Sister are sometimes easily blurred because some orders (such as the Dominicans or Augustinians) include nuns who are enclosed, who are usually grouped as the Second Order of that movement, and Religious Sisters who work in the broader world, who form a part of its Third Order. In the Roman rite of the Catholic Church, once a man or woman has made solemn, perpetual religious vows, the process of release from these monastic vows is not a simple one. It is not approved simply by the individual monastery, but requires the approval of the ecclesiastical authorities. Normally there is a transitional period, called exclaustration, in which the person looks to establish a new life and determine if this is what he or she is truly called to do. This usually lasts up to six years under the current Code of Canon Law. After this period, the appropriate authority either the local bishop, or, more normally, the Holy See normally determines that the wish to leave this life is valid and grants the former monk or nun release from their vows. Anglican religious Orders have different procedures for the release from perpetual vows. Contemplative orders prioritise worship and prayer over economic or outreach activity. They exist in the Roman Catholic, Anglican and Eastern Orthodox traditions as well as in Buddhist settings.
Places to see in ( Agropoli - Italy )
Places to see in ( Agropoli - Italy )
Agropoli is a town and comune, former bishopric and present Latin Catholic titular see located in the Cilento area of the province of Salerno, Campania, Italy. It is situated at the start of the Cilentan Coast, on the Tyrrhenian Sea. The promontory on which Agropoli stands has been inhabited since Neolithic times. It seems, however, that it was not until the later Bronze and Iron Ages that it came to be continuously inhabited by a stable, indigenous population, which lived off hunting and fishing.
The municipality borders with Capaccio, Castellabate, Cicerale, Laureana Cilento, Ogliastro Cilento, Prignano Cilento and Torchiara. The town is few km far from the Ancient Greek city of Paestum. It includes the hamlets (frazioni) of Frascinelle, Fuonti, Marotta, Mattine, Moio, Muoio, Madonna del Carmine, San Marco, Tarullo and Trentova.
The town, where some tombs predating the Byzantine period were recently found, also houses the medieval ruins of San Francesco's monastery, and the Churches of the Holy Mary of Constantinople (16th century), San Marco, and San Francesco. The beaches of Trentova Bay contribute to make Agropoli an important seaside resort.
The Angevin-Aragonese castle, which was built on the 6th century Byzantine foundations, still stands on top of the promontory. It has a triangular plan with three circular towers and a moat. To the west of the modern tourist harbour is another small promontory, on which the coastal tower of San Francesco (16th century) stands next to the much altered remains of the convent of the same name. In the Municipal Antiquarian, there is a sizeable collection of archaeological finds, representing life in the area from prehistoric to medieval times.
Agropoli has a railway station on the main line Naples-Reggio Calabria. Road connection is guaranteed by the State Route SS18, which joins with the A3 Motorway at Battipaglia. Agropoli has also a large tourist port, connected by ferries to Capri, Ischia, Salerno and Naples.

Piazza Del Comune – Civic Museum Forum – Assisi – Audio Guide – MyWoWo Travel App
Every town and city in Italy is steeped in history and art, and often what is not visible at first sight is hidden away underground. The Museum under Piazza del Comune is a fascinating experience, offering you the chance to walk among remains and fragments of ancient history. A few steps will take you down to the Roman Forum Museum, with robust columns supporting striking vaults. This is the underground Romanesque chapel of the church of San Nicolò “de Platea”, meaning “in the square”, in this case the Roman Forum. Here you’ll find capitals, sarcophagi, inscriptions and funeral monuments, some of them particularly interesting.
Many funeral urns are illustrated with scenes from everyday life and of the professions of the deceased. Don’t miss the one with the father lying on a bed, in a pose as if he was eating; on important occasions, the Romans would eat reclining on a bed. You’ll see he is offering a gift to his wife, seated next to him, while their little boy is trying to reach for his dead parent...
