Crypt of San Nicola

What to see

• The cross vaults, supported by columns of local stone, in a space with three naves.
• The history: in August 1806, during the siege of Lauria, Napoleon’s soldiers looted the church and the crypt, where horses were also housed.

How to get there

It is located in the upper part of the village, below the mother church, at the top of a steep flight of steps. You reach it on foot, along alleys and steps; the position on the map is approximate.

Useful information

• Opening times depend on the parish, so it is best to ask in the village.
• Above the crypt stands the church of San Nicola di Bari, with its 18th-century façade.
• Nearby: the historic centre and the remains of the castle and the church of the Addolorata.
