San Calogero, Baroque shrine in Naro, Italy
The San Calogero sanctuary features classical baroque architectural elements with a main altar housing a statue created by Antonello Gagini in 1535.
The construction of the current basilica began in 1530 under Bishop Mariano Manno, replacing an older church that served pilgrims visiting the sacred caves.
The sanctuary maintains a strong connection to Saint Calogerus, who lived as a hermit in Sicily during the 6th century and founded multiple religious communities.
The shrine stands at coordinates 37.289828 latitude and 13.798614 longitude, with regular religious services and celebrations occurring on Saint Calogerus feast day, June 18th.
Below the church lies an ancient cave where Saint Calogerus resided, marked by a maiolica depicting the elderly saint placed upon a small altar.
