Church of Saints Peter and Paul of Agrò

Highlight • Religious Site

Near the small village of Casalvecchio Siculo lies in the Torrental Torró a very complex monument of the High Middle Ages in Sicily. The Greek inscription on the architrave of the main portal states that the church was rebuilt by the master builder Gerhard the Frank in 1172 on behalf of the catechumens Theosteriktos. The Norman Roger II had it built in 1116. The church miraculously unites Byzantine, Norman and Arabic architectural elements. until 1776 Greek orthodox Basilian monks lived here in a tiny abbey.
Inside, in the small and narrow church, high pointed arches on monolithic pillars separate three ships from each other. On the main axis of the central nave are the two very different domes, which allow light from above and give the church something mystical. A beautiful place.
I would like to point out to the picnic area below the monastery, where we spent a nice lunch break directly on the Torrente leading in spring water.

Catacombs and Mummies of the Capuchin Convent of Savoca

Highlight • Historical Site

A place where you can see mummies laid out. You have to ring the bell and hope that someone answers and opens the door. For a fee you are allowed in and can visit this bizarre place.

Mount Calvary of Savoca

Highlight • Viewpoint

Savoca is a Normandy fortified town 300 meters above the Strait of Messina. The town is beautifully prepared and touristically developed. Above all, it is worth the view from Calvary to Calabria and the strait. Simply great. There is a Capuchin monastery in the village with a tomb (including mummies) and another three churches, of which the Chiesa Madre is a gem. Otherwise you will find small restaurants and bars with delicious food. We ate delicious Semifreddo near the Capuchin monastery.
The trail from the valley is very steep, the road but freshly tarred and attractive for ambitious cyclists.
