Continuing along State Road 114 to Santa Teresa di Riva, you reach a junction leading to Savoca—a charming village situated 303 meters above sea level. It is an ancient and significant religious center, as evidenced by the presence of numerous 15th-century churches.
The Church of the Capuchin Convent is magnificent; it houses many paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries—including a Last Supper from the school of Caravaggio—and, in its crypt, the mummified bodies of 17 distinguished local men, preserved in elegant attire.
