The Hermitage of the Most Holy Savior was founded in 1585 at the behest of Giovanni D’Avalos, son of Alfonso of Aragon, and later named after the Most Holy Redeemer.
The complex was designed by Domenico Fontana reflecting the canons of 16th century architecture of the late Renaissance in Campania.
For 400 years it hosted the Camaldolese monks.
From the Convent (485 m a.s.l.) you can admire a beautiful view of the Gulf of Naples and the Sorrento peninsula.
The church preserves paintings and frescoes by remarkable painters (17th century): Luca Giordano, Andrea Mozzilli, Federico Barocci and Massimo Stanzione.
