Seaside Piedigrotta Church, situated near the entrance to an ancient Roman tunnel, is located within a cave carved out of tuffaceous rock and supported with hewn arches and pillars. The inside is filled with statues recalling biblical stories, including the Madonna di Pompei and the Angel of Death. Get lost among the stony personages before making your way down to the beach for a stroll along the windblown coast. Quickly create a custom-made itinerary for Pizzo using our trip planner.

The small church of Piedigrotta is one of the most beautiful places that can be visited, to say the least fascinating impossible not to go there if you are visiting Pizzo

Mystical place worth to visit. Don't park in the upward square because the previous owner of the cave will ask you a 5 EUR black money to scam you also for even 1 minute of parking. Instead find the white or blue stripes very common in Pizzo. The townhall dedicated guardian was amaizng also to give us a tour of the cave for free.

Amazing place that worths a visit, the entrance is 3 euro. The history behind is interesting and the beach on front is quiet.
