Majestic Churches of Maiori

Maiori’s religious architecture spans from the 10th-century rock-carved Abbazia di Santa Maria dell’Olearia to the iconic Collegiata di Santa Maria a Mare with its majolica-tiled dome. This collection includes the high-altitude Santuario della Madonna Avvocata on Mount Falerzio and the historic Basilica di Santa Trofimena in neighboring Minori. These sites preserve Byzantine frescoes, medieval cloisters, and sacred relics, documenting the Amalfi Coast's spiritual history and artistic evolution through the centuries.
