Marvelous Maratea -11

Not only uncontaminated nature and crystal clear sea, Maratea is also art and culture witnessed in valuable architectures, monuments of inestimable value and coastal towers.

 

While you reach the village, going through steep hairpin bends overlooking the sea, you can still enjoy an unrivaled landscape where colors and perfumes merge between unforgettable sensations.

 

Once you reach the historic center you can get lost among the streets, portals and eighteenth century noble buildings among which Palazzo De Lieto stands out. After a break in the cafes of the lovely little square, in the day shopping center in small local craft shops and in prestigious boutiques, in the evening a hub of concerts, exhibitions and cultural events, it is a must to visit at least some of the 44 churches of the city, all custodians of interesting artistic jewels.

 

Leaving the hamlet, while looking for new wonders, you can admire the coastal towers (XVI century) and the castle of Castrocucco, from 2005 national monument, then pointing towards the locality Acquafredda, you can visit Villa Nitti, structure of great historical value for having been the home of President Francesco Saverio Nitti.
