The Irpinia area of Campania has the appearance of a place of the past, poetically unchanged and genuine: small villages that follow one another, between deeply rooted local traditions and typical products.
These are still places of great devotion today, as the Goleto Abbey shows - which you will visit together with your guide.
Founded in 1133, over the years it became so large that it became a real citadel, hosting a male and a female convent.
The first half of the thirteenth century was the period in which, thanks to Mother Abbess Febronia, the sacred buildings present here were enriched with sacred works and new sections.
Unfortunately, the progressive depopulation of the area, has led to a slow abandonment of the citadel: only in the last 40 years, with the renewed interest of some religious, the Abbey - which today has the appearance of a ruin - has been rehabilitated to become the reference point for those in need of peace and spirituality.
After this fascinating place, it will be time to move to nearby Montemarano: your guide will show you the best places to stop for your lunch or dinner, with typical products and local wines. Observing the landscapes will be really beautiful, an experience that you will not forget!
