Maiori Must-Sees
Maiori and its neighbor Minori feature a collection of historic landmarks and coastal features. The area is defined by 13th-century religious architecture like the Collegiata di Santa Maria a Mare with its majolica dome, and 16th-century defensive structures such as the watchtowers in Cetara and Erchie. Natural highlights include the emerald waters of Pandora Cave and secluded pebble beaches like Spiaggia del Cavallo Morto, accessible primarily by sea. The 9th-century Castello di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano offers a look into the region's medieval defensive history against Saracen raids.
Collegiata di Santa Maria a Mare
13th-century church featuring a dome decorated with yellow and blue majolica tiles. The interior houses a 12th-century wood carving of the Madonna found on the shore and a museum of sacred art in the crypt.
Torre di Cetara
16th-century Viceregal watchtower used for coastal defense. It currently houses a civic museum and an art gallery dedicated to local maritime history.
