Zungoli

Overview

Imposing and massive, the ancient Castle of Zungoli is the first thing the traveller notices when he arrives at the village: this fortress, built, it is thought, in the 11th century to defend the territory from Byzantine incursions, initially had four towers, while today there are only three , and it remains the historic heart of the town. Below the castle lies the town, perched on a small tuffaceous hill. As you walk around, you will come across various elements of great artistic value, such as the Mother Church of Santa Maria Assunta, rebuilt after the 1930 earthquake, the Church of San Nicola with its historic organ, the Church of Santa Maria di Costantinopoli, abandoned by the Padri Servi di Maria following the plague of 1656 and then recovered, and finally the historic palazzi. A village of history and tradition, it is a little gem worth getting to know.
