Visit of Minori
Villa Carlotta> Via Casa Marrazza> historic centre
Leaving the Villa, in front of the car park, on the external side of the road, take the steps that go to the centre of Minori.
On the beach of the ancient Rheginna Minor, a wonderful Villa Marittima was built in the first century and made it first tourist resort on the Amalfi Coast. At the time of the Minori Maritime Republic, it became an important merchant port, home to naval arsenals, warehouses and in 987 a bishopric. Over the centuries to come, the town produced paper, lemons, and the famous “Pasta della Costa” ... Today, Minori is a “city of flavours” and a visit cannot not taste the gastronomic and confectionery specialties. Do not miss the walks through the alleys of the historic centre, to reach the narrow churches, the Bell Tower of the Annunziata, the Church of Santa Trofimena, the church of Santa Lucia, the churches of San Gennaro and Giuliano in Villamena or the Roman Villa Marittima...
