View of Mount Falerio from Cappella Vecchia

This far and no further? No way, the fun only starts at the source, because from here you can hike up to Monte Falerio (684 m), although it is also a steep climb.

The path is now very easy to walk.

From Maiori, climbing up the Santuario dell'Avvocata you can admire splendid views of Maiori and the Amalfi coast.

The Cesare spring can be reached from Albori along path 303A. Once you reach the source, you can decide to continue on path 303A which leads to Cetara or go up the mountain, following the CAI indications, to reach the Cappella Nuova or Monte Falerio (not recommended in the summer because the thick vegetation tends to cover the paths making the excursion difficult).

Set in the delightful center of Albori, the church of Santa Margherita, patron saint of the village on the Amalfi Coast, is testimony to an ancient and profound dialogue which is linked with the East through the Baroque. The Saint lived and was martyred in Antioch, in Asia Minor. The church dedicated to her stands in the center of the town, like an important and precious luminous reference point set in that small crib which is the hamlet of Vietri sul Mare which, for some years has been included in the prestigious role of the most beautiful villages in the 'Italy. Rebuilt at the dawn of the seventeenth century, we have news of it dating back to the fourteenth century. In the 17th century it became an autonomous parish within the possessions of the Abbey of Cava de' Tirreni. The imprint that bears witness to a Greek-Oriental suggestion is very strong. Not so much in the building but in the icons that, still today, are exhibited and venerated inside the church, including that of San Nicola, Bishop of Bari whose remains rest in the cathedral dedicated to him in the Apulian capital. Its structure is divided into three naves, outside there is a porch overlooking the churchyard, which can be reached by climbing a comfortable staircase, wide (the right) where the community meets and celebrates its moments of celebration. There is also another important bond that binds the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia in Albori to the world of Eastern Europe. We are talking about the painter Belisario Corenzio, active in the Kingdom of Naples between the 16th and the first half of the 17th century. Born in Greece, lived and trained in Salento and then "landed" at a very young age in Campania, we owe him many of the frescoes in the most beautiful and precious churches and convents of what was once the former Kingdom of Naples. Today he is still considered one of the most interesting exponents of the Neapolitan school. His workshop was very active and the Marian pictorial cycle frescoed on the vault of the central nave can be traced back to it. The softness and freshness of the colors speak of an artistic influence of weight. (For further information: https://ecampania.it/event/un-ponte-loriente-e-barocco-chiesa-santa-margherita-ad-albori/)
