Its monuments
The history of Maratea is illustrated by its many churches, which you can take in on a short stroll before heading back out to sea. Perched on Mount San Biagio, the village is known as the Town of 44 Churches and is home to some splendid works of art. Among the oldest, the church of San Vito is home to impressive frescoes dating from the 14th century. As you head towards the ruins of the old town, you will see the Basilica of San Biagio protecting the relics of Saint Blaise.
Your tour of the churches will take you to the Church of the Annunciation, dating from the 16th century, and the Church of the Holy Virgin of the Rosary, whose walls are adorned with little angels. The statue of the Redeemer, built in 1965, the column of Saint Blaise and the castle of Castrocucco, abandoned from the 17th century, will beautifully round off your visit to the historical monuments of Maratea.
Its festivals and cuisine
Maratea invites you to discover its culture through its traditional events and its gastronomy. The festival of the translation of the relics of Saint Blaise is one of the highlights.
