Abbey built over the centuries inside the rock. The church is unexpectedly rich in marble and colors despite the fact that the facade is quite anonymous. Part of the abbey can be visited with guided tours. The possibility of entering a still active abbey is always an incredible emotion.
Wonderful Benedictine Abbey church. The marble and mosaic works inside are very interesting. You can see the marvelous rocks that the barrocco church is built into. The cloister, ancient chapel and museum are only accessible by guided tour, starting 9 - 12 every hour. The tour guide is friendly and helpful, yet practically runs through the interesting parts of the tour whilst staying unnecessarily long at the less interesting parts. Taking part in the tour and paying the 3€ ticket is well worth it though. The cloister is unlike most others, not being square, and more importantly, being built right under the towering rocks of the mountain. The sight is truly stunning. The ancient chapels are very beautiful with great architectural insights and nice frescos. The museum is the least interesting part of the abbey. In the chapter house, you can see the 18th century terracotta painted flooring, which is quite impressive to see.
Went to see this as part of an unplanned day of touring and this surprised us by how excellent it was. Lovely location in cute village and beautiful church. Very richly decorated and full of history.
This place is miracle. So peaceful and beautiful. Gorgeous cathedral in a rock surrounded by green grounds of natural park.
Great tour. Very worth seeing
The church in this abbey is astounding. The frescos are mind blowing considering one isn't in Rome and considering that the abbey is about 1000 years old. Amazing.
Very very impressive abbey paired with a very nice tour guide.
Lovely site and good path to hike paths

A calm island in the city center. Nice cocktails n teas. Sometimes art exhibitions too.
Very fascinating
(Translated by Google) Wonderful place that brings a bit of culture to the Salerno area which unfortunately is often missing. I never miss an opportunity to visit the various exhibitions they organise, all very interesting, from Picasso to Mirò, Chagall and, last in chronological order, the one on Warhol. The organized route is not very long, but the panels are interesting and the explanations done really well. Excellent centers, congratulations indeed. (Original) Posto meraviglioso che porta nel salernitano un po' di cultura che purtroppo spesso manca. Non perdo occasione per visitare le diverse mostre che organizzano, tutte molto interessanti, da Picasso a Mirò, Chagall e, ultima in ordine cronologico, quella su Warhol. Il percorso organizzato non è molto lungo, ma i pannelli sono interessanti e le spiegazioni fatte davvero bene. Ottimo centri complimenti davvero.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful central place where you can have a careful Italian aperitif. The stuzzichini are a complete meal.... (Original) Belo local central onde se pode tomar um aperitivo Italiano cuidado. Os stuzzichini são uma refeição completa ....
(Translated by Google) The place is very particular, on the outside you can enjoy the image of a historic facade (precisely the ancient seat of the Cavese town hall) entering inside you are catapulted into the modern world with a large structure that gives the idea of ​​an agora with grafts of nature where you can stay with friends to enjoy a sandwich or reserve a solitary corner for a quiet read, enjoying a hot drink. The upper spaces are used for exhibitions. On the second floor there is a small theater room where companies of local and non-local artists offer shows and cultural events that address the most varied themes, both to the local public and to school groups from neighboring cities. Marte Live thus presents itself as a cultural center of the Metellian city, where people can meet to address problems of yesterday and today. (Original) Il locale è molto particolare all'esterno si gusta l'immagine di una facciata storica (appunto antica sede del municipio cavese) entrando all'interno si viene catapultati nel mondo moderno con una struttura ampia che da l'idea di una agorà con innesti di natura dove puoi stare con gli amici a gustare un panino o riservarti un angolino solitario per una lettura in tranquillità, gustando una bevanda calda. Gli spazi superiori sono adibiti a mostre. Al secondo piano vi è una piccola sala teatro dove compagnie di artisti locali e non, propongono spettacoli ed eventi culturali che affrontano i temi più vari, sia al pubblico locale che a scolaresche provenienti dalle città limitrofe. Il Marte Live si pone così come centro culturale della città metelliana, dove ritrovarsi per affrontare problemi di ieri e di oggi.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful 18th century nativity scene, large room, easily accessible. (Original) Presepe del 700 molto bello, locale ampio, ben accessibile.
(Translated by Google) I feel like I live in a surreal world where everything is fantastic. Feel the need to become a figurine to walk the streets of this enchanting nativity scene. In short: it takes your breath away!!! (Original) Mi sembra di vivere in un mondo surreale dove tutto è fantastico. Senti il bisogno di diventare una statuina per percorrere le stradine di questo incantevole presepe. In poche parole: ti toglie il fiato!!!
(Translated by Google) Exceptional. A true work of art. Scenes with attention to the smallest details. Absolutely worth seeing. Congratulations to the authors. (Original) Eccezionale. Una vera opera d'arte. Scene curate nei minimi dettagli. Assolutamente da vedere. Complimenti agli autori.
(Translated by Google) To say the least, the details, the movements, the presence of waterfalls, the mill in motion and even a fry shop full of physical activity, magnificent for adults and children, a must-visit (Original) A dir poco stupendo i particolari i movimenti la presenza di cascate Mulino in movimento e addirittura una friggitoria piena di attività motoria magnifico per grandi e per piccoli obbligatoriamente da visitare
(Translated by Google) Beautiful Neapolitan nativity scene to visit, the fantastic waterfall that powers the mill and the sawmill (Original) Bellissimo presepe Napoletano da visitare fantastica la cascata che alimenta il mulino e la segheria
(Translated by Google) A beautiful experience. Very nice nativity scene. Walking among the installations looking for every little detail is very pleasant and evocative. Our little girl did three laps,.... (Original) Una bellissima esperienza. Presepe molto curato. Camminare fra le installazioni cercando ogni piccolo particolare è molto piacevole e suggestivo. La nostra bimba ha fatto tre giri ,....
(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience, we found a snowstorm that prevented us from fully enjoying the beauty of those suggestive villages. The train journey was exhilarating, I recommend it without any buts. Aa, just one sore point: there wasn't a nativity scene, not even a small one and for me a Christmas without a nativity scene is an empty Christmas. A peaceful Christmas to the whole world. (Original) Esperienza bellissima, abbiamo trovato una bufera di neve che ci ha impedito di godere appieno della bellezza di quei borghi suggestivi. Il viaggio in treno è stato esilarante ve lo consiglio senza alcun ma. Aa, solo una nota dolente non c'era un presepe, neanche piccolo e per me un Natale senza presepe è un Natale vuoto. Un Natale di pace a tutto il mondo.
(Translated by Google) Small museum, but well kept and with numerous testimonies. Important for discovering a not well-known cross-section of the history of Cavese and for understanding that wars are never the solution. Only love, brotherhood and mercy are truly human. Free entry. (Original) Piccolo museo, ma ben tenuto e con numerose testimonianze. Importante per scoprire uno spaccato non abbastanza conosciuto della storia cavese e per comprendere che le guerre non sono mai la soluzione. Solo l'amore, la fratellanza e la pietà contendono davvero umani. Ingresso gratuito.
