Minori, a picturesque small town on Amalfi Coast

A rock divides the town ancient settlements by Romans on Amalfi Coast: Reghinna Maioris (the modern Maiori) and Reghinna Minoris (the modern Minori). These two communities are considered twin, even if Minori still preserves the ancient charm of the typical towns of Amalfi Coast. Minori welcomes tourists coming from S.S. 163 road with the panorama of the picturesque small beach, surrounded by nice gardens. In the middle of the garden there is a fountain with lions, built in XI century. Mountains surrounding Minori are covered by lemon trees: lemon trees have been cultivated here for centuries, on the typical terraced fields. Minori contains the interesting remains of a Roman villa of I century a.C.: this was a residence, used by noble people that were surely very rich. Minori has always been loved by people of any ages. Minori has also a long religious tradition that has left interesting buildings, for example the archconfraternity of Blessed Sacrament with a beautiful marble altar and the basilica dedicated to the Patron, Trofimena, whose body miraculously arrived to the beach of Minori.
Minori is in a strategic position, in the middle of Amalfi Coast. It is 16 km from the “ceramics” paradise of Vietri sul Mare; 11 km from the picturesque village of Cetara. Minori is near Maiori (1 km), Atrani (3 km), Amalfi (4 km), and Ravello, the town of music (8 km). Praiano is 14 km far from Minori while Furore 13 km and Positano 21 km.
