The architectural, archaeological and monumental sites
Mercogliano is a delicious center of stay surrounded by a luxuriant nature that
guards an architectural patrimony of notable interest. Particularly characteristic
it is the suburb of the middle age with narrow alleys that sometimes open on
ample spaces from which a magnificent panorama can be enjoyed. Known with the
name of Capocastello is the ancient center, in which they is able, still today,
to admire the ruins, recently restored by the Superintendence, of the suggestive
Castle medioevale, destroyed by a dreadful fire in 1656. Just to the entry of
Capocastello it is visible, besides, the only line survivor of the ancient boundaries
that once surrounded the whole suburb: it deals with the Door of the Saints
on whose superior part is possible to admire a fresco of St. Martin, St. Florentine
and St. Flaviano. The most consistent part of the architectural patrimony of
the Commune of Mercogliano is represented from he/she Asked her, among which
remember: the Church of S. Pietro and Paul, endowed with a notable bell tower
and decorated to the inside from eighteenth-century paintings and from a great
cloth, to the ceiling, of Joseph Scala; the Church of S. Modestino; the Church
of the Holy Savior; the Church of S. Francesco; the Church of S. Giovanni.
Famous, above all, for the devotion of the believers, from centuries always
long live, it is the Sanctuary of Montevergine, situated on the Partenio Mountain,
to 1270 meters high, and attainable also through the funicular. The Sanctuary
preserves a splendid museum with archaeological finds and a show of mangers
coming from the whole world. Revered the thirteenth-century image of the Madonna,
painted by Pietro Cavallini. Of valuable invoice is the 1896 monumental organ.
Of notable architectural interest is also the Abbatial Building of Loreto, winter
center of the abbot of Montevergine, rebuilt in 1735 on sketch of the Vaccaro.
Encircled by the wings of the Building, there is an ample courtyard with a parish
priest garden and, on I break down him/it the Partenio. In the rooms of the
Building sixteenth-century Flemish tapestries are guarded, besides a pharmacy
with a collection of over three hundred vases in maiolica, a library with an
important file of over seven thousand parchments, as well as imperial and Episcopalian
documents. Its library introduces a book patrimony of over 150.000 volumes.
