The patron saints of Eboli are Saints Vitus and Berniero, celebrated on 15 June. The former is honoured by the church of San Vito al Sele, dating from the 10th century; the latter gives his name to an 18th-century town chapel, while a painter active in the second half of the 16th century is credited, also in Eboli, with the frescoes of an apse in the basilica of San Pietro Alli Marmi and a 1574 panel depicting the Virgin and Child among Saints Peter, Paul, Jerome and Berniero, considered the earliest panel depiction of the co-patron saint.
Eboli holds important historic sites such as the Castello Colonna, of medieval origin. The town owes much of its contemporary fame to Carlo Levi's celebrated book «Christ Stopped at Eboli», though the events narrated in the work actually take place in Basilicata during the Fascist regime; a monument to the writer stands today along Viale Amendola. Eboli was also the setting for a bellicose speech delivered by Benito Mussolini shortly before the start of the war in Ethiopia, an event the dictator himself would recall at the outset of the Italian campaign in Greece.
