Art and Culture

La Villa Marittima Romana

Of the I century A.C., this villa represents an unique example of the building expertise of the Romans. Built at sea level, its first floor contains, within the wings of the porch, a “viridarium”, in whose centre lies a monumental bath, opened towards the sea. 

Also, the most important room of this floor: the great “triclinium nynphaeum”, from whose sides, the whole ground floor extends symmetrically. Upstairs, very few elements have survived. Remains of stuccoworks, mosaics, and frescos represent a figurative universe referable to the third Pompeian style.

L'Arciconfraternita del SS. Sacramento

It is a building of one single room, containing a wooden chancel, a marble seventeenth century altar with the altar piece portraying the Madonna del Rosario and other saints.

La Basilica di S.Trofimena

Preserved here are the mortal remains of the patron saint of Minori. A typical example of a late seventeenth century building, it was rebuilt from the foundations in the place of the old Romanesque church. 

On the main altar lies a remarkable Crucifixion of Christ, credited to Marco Pino from Siena. The two aisles contain various chapels with paintings and works of undisputable artistic value.
