San Fele.
This village dates back to Ottone di Sassonia, who
had built his fortress on a rock after the Battle
of Bovito. Of this fortress only some ruins still
remain. It was the place where Enrico di Baviera,
Enrico the son of Federico II, and Ottone di Brunwich
were imprisoned. During the feudal period San Fele
belonged to several lords until it was bought by the
Doria family, in 1613.
Amongst the places that are worth visiting there
are the Main Church, in which there is a canvas representing
Santa Rosa da Viterbo, of the XVII century, and the
Convent of Sant’Antonio of the Observant Monks,
with some frescos of 1743. A beautiful Church is part
of the Convent and inside it, there are a piece of
altar of the XV century, a polyptych of the XVI century,
a choir and a pulpit of the XVIII century.
Nearby there is the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Pierno,
built in 1189.
