The San Vito Chapel presents a medieval architectural layout, although it was entirely rebuilt in the 1600s and then fully and definitively restored in the last decade.

The Chapel is located on Via Matria, a place where a snow warehouse once stood. The feast of San Vito, which falls on June 14, has for many years been an anticipated and celebrated event, also because until a few years ago the sagra "To paniri tu tirì" was organized, with the proceeds contributing to the restoration of the Chapel.

With a square plan, the Chapel consists of a single room illuminated by a small window. Some frescoes are still visible, one central and two lateral, placed on what were once columns. On the right side, you can admire the statue of San Vito, created and donated a few years ago by a devotee from Sternatia. On the exterior door, at the top and engraved in the stone, there is a Latin inscription, most likely made by the first patrons of the work.
