Description

Vico Equense is known all over the world for its thermal baths and for "pizzaby the meter"; its name derives from "vici" (small villages on the main roads) and then became Vicus Aequensis from the name of the main village, called Borgo dei Cavalieri.
The ancient Roman village, which grew up on a rocky spur, over the centuries became an elegant medieval city (some ancient remains of the old doorways of the houses remain), with a beautiful Gothic cathedral (14th c., the only Gothic church in the whole of the Sorrentina Peninsula) with the churchyard dropping sheer into the sea. Not to be missed are Giusso castle, founded by the Angevins and restructured at various different tomes between the 1600's and 1800's, the interesting Museo Mineralogico Campano which holds almost 5000 fossils and minerals from all over the world and the Church of Saint Ciro and Giovanni, the patrons of the town, in a late-Baroque style.
