Set the scene.
The square beside Qala’s sanctuary is named for St Corrado, known locally as San Kerrew. The official walking guide connects him with local hermit traditions.
Here’s the twist.
A nearby story tells of a holy man and miraculous journeys. Such narratives belong to legend, not verified travel records.
Why it still matters.
A place name can document devotion without proving every tale attached to it. Read the square’s name as evidence of remembered belief, then ask separately what archaeology or documents establish.
