The route, historical connections, beach facilities and festival appeal to different interests and can be considered as distinct priorities when choosing where to stay.

Route 335 and the path to the fishpond

Route 335 runs from Sant'Agnello to Punta Sant'Elia. It passes the Chiesa di Trasaelle, the junction with Route 300 at Fontanelle, and a belvedere. This identifies the start, destination and several stops; Route 335 meets Route 300 at the junction at Fontanelle. These place names give you specific landmarks to use when considering this route as part of your trip planning.

Another trail-related point of interest is the fishpond below the headland of Punta San Francesco. It can be reached via a path that is partly cut into the tuff cliff. Here, the focus is on a specific destination with a distinctive approach, while Route 335 connects several stops along its course. This distinction can help you consider both local features in terms of what you are looking for: a route with stops or access to a particular fishpond.

Church and villa: two historical perspectives

The origins of the Chiesa dei Santi Prisco e Agnello probably date back to the 15th century. Villa Nicolini stands on the site of a Roman-occupied complex containing the remains of an Augustan domus. The domus includes caves, nymphaea, ramps cut into the rock, fishponds and landing places for ancient boats.

The church and villa represent different historical perspectives: the church probably dates back to the 15th century, while the historical reference for Villa Nicolini is its Roman traces and an Augustan domus. The church's probable origins and the Augustan domus mark two distinct historical periods in Sant'Agnello.

Beach access and summer festival

The public Spiaggia di Caterina beach has a sand walkway from the path to the water's edge, JOB chairs for safe access to the water, and special sun loungers. These facilities were documented in August 2025; check the arrangements before your visit if access aids are important to your plans.

San Rocco takes place every summer in Piazzetta La Pigna and includes a procession. The celebrations also include the Sagra della polpetta di San Rocco, a food festival featuring traditional cooking, local specialties, music and socializing. Both the procession and the food festival are part of the event. Dates and program details may change; check the latest event information before your trip.
