The complex of Santa Maria Maggiore (or della Terra) stands majestically on a small hill, overlooking the road that connects Cava de' Tirreni to Salerno, nestled in the heart of an untouched hilly landscape.
The area, surrounded by greenery and crisscrossed with trails through the woods, exudes a rare atmosphere of peace. The church, with a vaguely classical charm, overlooks a churchyard, and its rooftop seems to embrace the entire valley below, offering those who stop a view that both enchants and inspires.
Inside, Baroque elegance is revealed in a decoration that is both sober and refined, with delicate tones of white and straw wrapping around every corner. The nave, simple yet solemn, is crowned by a vaulted ceiling adorned with intricate motifs, while the dome above the apse reflects light in a play of tones that evokes a sense of sacredness and serenity.
A place that, between silence and beauty, invites you to contemplation and reflection.
