Tips
At the top of Mount Falerzio stands a religious complex dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Lawyer, of which the oldest part is made up of the cave.
It is said that in 1485 the Virgin appeared to a shepherd from Maiori in this cave and asked him to build a place of prayer right there where she had appeared to him, introducing herself with the title of Lawyer. The shepherd built a chapel in the cave, which was later enlarged by the Camaldolese Fathers who in 1682 took custody of the convent that had arisen there. Cinnamo, in addition to the cave, made various buildings that he himself had erected a place of worship.unescoamalficoast.it/locations/grotta-dell-avvocataSturdy shoes and good physical shape!translated by
