The Church of Sant’Erasmo stands in an area linked to the memory of the bishop and martyr venerated as the patron saint of Formia. The complex preserves a religious and archaeological stratification that connects the Christian cult to the preceding Roman necropolis.

It is an active place of worship, not just a tourist stop. The visit requires discretion and must respect the community's celebrations and activities; for updated information, it is best to refer to local channels.
