Timetable and accommodation search guidance

EAV line 002 Napoli–Nola–Monteforte serves Mariglianella, with stops at Via Marconi 11 and Via Marconi 4. The timetable has been in effect since August 1, 2026. As timetables can change, check it again before your trip.

This route information provides a practical reference point for planning your trip. If you’re looking for a hotel in Mariglianella, take into account your planned travel dates and the local events that matter to you. For a trip to a festival, its specific dates are just as important as the timetable you plan to use for your journey.

Local history and the Chiesa di Maria Santissima della Sanità

Mariglianella has medieval origins. One important landmark in the town’s history is the Chiesa di Maria Santissima della Sanità, built in 1583. It includes a small convent, created through the conversion of the former Palazzo Carafa.

The church has historical and spiritual ties to the Venerable Carlo Carafa, founder of the Congregation of the Pious Workers. The church also contains records that tell the story of centuries of history in the Mariglianella area.

Another point of interest is a statue dedicated to Michael Jordan, unveiled in Mariglianella. It adds a distinctive public memorial to the town’s historical and religious themes; no visitor program or specific visiting hours are associated with it.

Festa dei Gigli: the Ballata and traditional dates

The Ballata dei Gigli is part of the Festa dei Gigli. During the event, the Paranze carry the Fantasia, Popolo and Taverne wooden obelisks through the streets of the town center. The procession and the Ballata also pass through Mariglianella’s central streets. The town center is therefore part of the festival as described, while the names of the three obelisks distinguish the individual elements of the Ballata.

The civic celebrations of the Festa dei Gigli traditionally take place in the second half of September. If you’re planning a trip around a particular festival, check the specific dates in advance. This traditional timing is useful for planning, but does not replace confirmation of the dates for a particular edition.

The 2026 Festa della Madonna della Sanità celebrations culminated in a traditional procession in honor of Maria Santissima della Sanità, which passed through the streets of Mariglianella. This procession is another link to the town’s history and differs in its format from the Ballata, with its carried obelisks.

Find a hotel for your trip to Mariglianella

When looking for hotels, you can start by deciding whether the medieval origins, the Chiesa di Maria Santissima della Sanità or a festival will be the focus of your trip. For the Festa dei Gigli, the second half of September is a traditional timing reference; if you’re traveling for a specific festival, check the dates. Add the current EAV line 002 timetable to your plans. This way, your travel decisions are based on the reason for your trip and the actual planning details.
