From the train station up to the historic center, it's quite a climb, but the effort is worthwhile – even if you're not going to see the Christ the Redeemer statue. Beautiful streets and squares. There are supposed to be 44 churches, but most of them are probably closed.

A 21-meter-high statue has stood atop Monte San Biagio since 1965. It is considered a landmark of Maratea. However, its erection was controversial among local politicians at the time. Originally, an iron cross stood on this spot, commemorating the defense against Napoleon's troops in 1806. It was later replaced by this statue of Jesus, whose face does not bear the typical features of Jesus, as his hair and beard are short. He looks more like an angel—a savior who points with open arms to the Creator in heaven and with both feet firmly planted on the ground, symbolizing the acceptance of sinners.

A very impressive statue (about 20 meters tall) high above the sea (about 600 meters). Great view of the sea and the coast.

Great road to the Christ of Maratea. The final hairpin bends are truly spectacular, built on concrete stilts. The climb is pleasant, not too steep. From the top, you have breathtaking views of the sea and the coast. Absolutely worth it.

Beautiful coastal road with great views

Splendid place immersed in the Lucanian Appennine Park Val d'Agri Lagonegrese which offers many possibilities for refreshment and overnight stay in the surrounding facilities.

Beautiful 360° panoramas

The old historic center of Maratea is full of charm, lanes and steep stony stairways ground from centuries of use. Now that you are there, continue along the CAI path to the top of the mountain where a Christ worthy of the Burmese Buddhas stands
