The Churches in Serrara Fontana are a collection of historic Catholic places of worship on the island of Ischia, including the 14th-century Santa Maria della Portella and the parish church of San Giovanni Battista. These churches sit in the island's highest village, offering both spiritual heritage and panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Visitors can observe centuries-old architecture, religious art, and local devotional traditions in a quiet, hilltop setting.
What to expect
- Visit Santa Maria della Portella, a 14th-century church with a Gothic portal and a 17th-century wooden crucifix.
- See the baroque interior of San Giovanni Battista, featuring a majolica floor and a painting of the Madonna del Rosario.
- Attend a Sunday mass (typically 11:00) to hear the local congregation and see the church in active use.
- Walk the short, steep cobbled paths between churches, with views over the Fiaiano valley and the sea.
- Combine the visit with a stop at the nearby Belvedere di Serrara, a lookout point 400 metres above sea level.
- Suitable for history buffs and slow travellers; allow 45–60 minutes to see both churches and the surrounding lanes.
