Santi Ciro e Giovanni

Santi Ciro e Giovanni, Baroque church in Vico Equense, Italy.

Santi Ciro e Giovanni is a baroque church in Vico Equense featuring white stone walls and ornate decorative elements. Its interior displays the typical architectural characteristics of the baroque period, with columns, arches, and elaborate embellishments throughout the space.

A small church existed here by the 12th century, first documented in writing in 1486 on land that had held a Roman villa; it also housed the town parliament until 1608. After the 1696 earthquake, it was demolished and rebuilt from the early 18th century, inaugurated in 1715 by Bishop Tommaso d'Aquino and solemnly consecrated in 1774 by Bishop Paolino Pace.

The church is the parish seat for Vico Equense and venerates Saints Ciro and Giovanni, the town's patrons. A 1541 document records that on the eve of their feast a barrel of wine and two tomoli of hazelnuts were distributed. The silver bust of Saint Ciro, a reliquary holding relics donated by the Jesuits of Naples, is carried in the patronal celebrations.

The church is typically open during daytime hours and welcomes visitors, though respectful clothing is expected. Plan your visit outside of service times to explore comfortably, or join a service if you wish to experience the community gathering.

The church stands on the site of a Roman villa; over the years its ruins came to light, including a basin dedicated to Apollo that is now kept in Castello Giusso. The silver bust of Saint Ciro, a 17th-century reliquary holding some of the saint's remains, was donated by the Jesuits of Naples.
