San Calogero

San Calogero is a shrine with baroque features in Naro, built with classical architectural elements. The main altar holds a statue from the 16th century created by a skilled artist.

The current church was built starting in 1530 and replaced an older building that had served pilgrims for a long time. The construction took place under church leadership and aimed to serve a growing number of visitors.

The place is devoted to Saint Calogerus, a hermit who lived in caves here and was later venerated by believers. The devotion to this saint shapes the religious life in Naro today and draws visitors who want to understand his connection to the area.

The shrine is easily accessible and located in Naro with clear routes to reach it. Visitors should expect religious celebrations, especially when visiting on special days.

Beneath the church lies an ancient cave where the saint once lived, still drawing visitors today. This underground space with a small altar shows the deep connection between the place and the saint's life.
