Bruno's Villa

It is one of the most beautiful Eighteen century Vesuvian Villas, owned by the Pignatelli of Monteleone Duchess and turned later into a foundry by Francesco Rigetti. The façade looks towards a big park: a courtyard leads to the entrance of the building. Today Villa Bruno is setting of several cultural events.

Old St. George's Church

Front view of Old St. George's Church that originally was an oratory dedicated to the Saint. Re-opened to the public only in 1989, in the course of time it had various modifications: actually it was used for different purposes, even as a graveyard in 1839.

Queen of the lilies Temple

Queen of the lilies Temple's façade. Divided symmetrically in two parts by 5 arches. In the upper side there is a fresco representing the Virgin Mary, called Queen of Lilies, because that flower is a Christina Symbol of purity. The Church, of large dimensions, was built for the Queen of Lilies Company's will. Mother Liliana was the founder of that philanthropic institution. In the crypt are kept Sister Teresina's remains.
