Baroque church in the historic centre of Vibo Valentia, known as the former Jesuit church: rich interiors and a strong connection with the city's traditions.
In the historic centre of Vibo Valentia, the Church of San Giuseppe is one of the most interesting stops for those visiting the city's religious architecture. Also known as the former Jesuit church, it is a Baroque building datable between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The church is also closely tied to the city's religious life: according to local tradition, one of the most evocative processions of the Easter period departs from here — that of the Madonna Desolata. What to see: the interiors and the Baroque layout of the building; the area around the church, among alleyways and views of the historic centre. Curiosity: during Holy Week, the church is a symbolic point — from here the Procession of the Madonna Desolata departs, one of the most heartfelt moments of Vibonese tradition.
