About this experience

Churches in Forio is a guided walking tour of the principal Catholic churches in Forio, a town on the western coast of Ischia. The tour covers the 14th-century Chiesa del Soccorso, the Basilica di San Vito, and the Chiesa di San Francesco, each with distinct architectural and historical features. Visitors learn how these buildings survived pirate raids and earthquakes, and how their art reflects local maritime traditions.
