A perfect stop to enjoy a peaceful pause — a place where time seems to slow down, allowing you to reflect and breathe a calmer rhythm. Nestled in the lower part of Scalea’s historic centre, this church offers incredible views from its open-air terrace and stands as a true treasure chest of history. Built around 1130 during the Norman era, it houses the evocative Crypt of Our Lady of Sorrows, characterized by an Amalfi-Romanesque style enriched with Byzantine and Arab influences. The upper section, decorated with stuccoes and details from the 14th and 15th centuries, tells the story of the church’s artistic evolution over time. This peaceful place is ideal for a moment of reflection.
