Spiritual Cilento
Day 1 – Certosa di Padula
The itinerary begins at the Certosa di San Lorenzo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its monumental cloister — the largest in the world. Among the decorated church, the library with its majolica floor, and the refectory, visitors can experience the spirituality of the place and the silent discipline of the Carthusian monks.
📌 Near the Certosa, the Monaci Digitali project reinterprets the values of silence and simple living in a modern way. A coworking and co-living space where remote work alternates with nature walks and cultural visits. Activities include cooking classes, trekking, sculpture, horse riding, and beekeeping.
Day 2 – Santuario della Madonna di Novi Velia
The journey continues along the Sentiero del Pellegrino, an ascent through centuries-old chestnut and beech forests leading to the summit of Monte Gelbison. Here, the Santuario della Madonna di Novi Velia welcomes visitors’ spirits in an embrace of stone and wind: a place where ancient devotion merges with the vastness of the Cilento horizon.
Day 3 – Sant'Angelo a Fasanella
The final stop leads to the fascinating Grotta di San Michele Arcangelo, a treasure of underground art and spirituality, where the echo of the sacred resonates among limestone walls. Nearby, the mysterious rock sculpture of Antece watches over the passing of time, bringing the journey to an end between ancient history and absolute silence.
💡In Sant’Angelo a Fasanella, nature offers a final refuge at the Cascate del Fiume Auso, reachable by walking through the evocative passage of the “Grotta dell’Auso”.
