In the Cilento Culture: The Crist of Maratea
  • The Crist of Maratea
The Christ of Maratea is one of the biggest main attraction in the Basilicata.
It stand out on the S.Biagio Mountains since 1965. Stefano Rivetti di Valcervo financed the place.
The Statue of Redeemer is 22 metres tall and arms span are 19.
It is second to alone to that of Rio de Janiero.
It is vertically positioned to the sea and is visible at a notable distance whether the sea or inland.
At the opposite side of the Christ we find the San Biagio Basilica, realized between VI-VII century A.D. and enlarged on a number of occasions.
There you will find many works of art: Regia Cappella (XVII cent) kept in a particular sacred relic of San Biagio, the Fresco of the Madonna del Melograno (XV cent) and the precious bas-reliefs of marble.
Between the first and day in May festivities are held in honour of S.Biagio, the patron of the Saint of Maratea.
