Calvario | Curch | old town

The small Church of Calvary, privately owned, is located at the foot of the historic center of Maratea, in the district known as Little Harbor.

The original title of the church, in fact, was S. Maria de Mare Piccolo, then changed to S. Cataldo, and finally to its current name.

It was traditional that the church, in ancient times, was used for the burial of abortions.

Works of art in the Church

Inside the Church of Calvario in Maratea there is a beautiful fresco, dated 1495, of the Madonna with Child, accompanied by St. Cataldo and St. John the Baptist, signed by Giovanni Palumbo from Chiaromonte.

At the entrance, there is a kiosk representing the Madonna with Child and Saint Bishops, dated 1548.
