Torre Gatto – The Sentinel of Mystery Among the ruins hidden by the vegetation stands the Torre Gatto, an ancient bastion of uncertain origin, shrouded in silence and legend. According to popular tradition, the tower was guarded by a giant black cat, guardian spirit of the forest, who appeared only to those who disturbed the peace of the place. Other stories tell that the tower was an observatory of monks, or a Lombard watchtower, placed to guard the paths towards the valley. Today only a part of its walls remains, but the atmosphere is intact: a fascinating point where history and nature intertwine in the silence of time.

From the Abbey of the Santissima Trinità to Cappella Vecchia the first part of the famous Alta Via dei Monti Lattari develops, the CAI 300 path which from Cava dei Tirreni leads to Punta Campanella and extends for over 70 KM https://www.altaviadeimontilattari .it/il-sentiero-300-cai/

At this point, an extremely fascinating grotto invites hikers to take a little spiritual rest. In his text, Gennaro dell'Aglio vividly described the construction of this local sanctuary 35 years ago. In the rear, elevated part (which can be reached via a small ladder on the rock) there is a cross with a body. Further ahead there is a statue of the Mother of God Mary, which welcomes visitors. It has been invoked under countless titles throughout the history of the church, but especially in popular piety. Here it is the “Madonna della Pace”, or Mary as Queen of Peace.

The Santissima Trinità abbey seen from the outside is truly majestic, its interior is definitely worth a visit

Unique emotion in a sacred and beautiful place. On 8 May 1988 the first liturgy was celebrated by my uncle "Padre Vittorio Dell'Aglio" a Franciscan friar as a foretelling during the homily that the Grotta di Pietrapiana would be the destination of many devotees and visitors to pray to Our Lady of Peace. With my close friend Antonio Marra we set off from Nocera Inferiore to arrive in Pietrapiana bringing to the Madonna della Pace a small picture in memory of my uncle who unfortunately left his earthly life on 10 April 2002 with 50 years of priesthood. For me it was a beautiful particular tour but above all exciting in knowing and knowing the story of my uncle. I highly recommend visiting this spectacular place full of joy and peace.

Starting point of the CAI 300 path. It is a complex to be visited preferably with a guide.

The abbey was founded in 1011 by S. Alferio, a Salerno native who trained in Cluny. Under the third abbot, St. Peter became the center of a large Congregation, the Ordo Cavensis. The first abbots were distinguished for their holiness: the first four were recognized as saints, another eight, blessed. Elevated to a bishopric in 1394, from 1431 to 1497 it was entrusted to commendatory cardinals, who impoverished it of monks and substances, so that in 1497 it was aggregated to the Congregation of S. Giustina of Padua. In the century XVIII the church and some parts of the abbey were rebuilt or enlarged. In 1844, D. Giuseppe Serra and D. Rudesindo Salvado, Spanish monks who joined in Cava, left for Australia as missionaries and founded the abbey of Nuova Norcia. Under the suppression law of 1866, the abbey was declared a national monument and entrusted to the abbot for safekeeping. Then the monks opened a lay college and began studies and publications of the archive. These activities continued into the twentieth century. Neg
