the Chapels in the boroughs
Other significant chapels also from an historical point of view are found scattered in the various villages of the territory of Maratea to complement those of the Historic Center (see).
Chapels in the valley and in the high villages
In the valley of Maratea there is the chapel of St. Lucia, located in the Ondavo district, which preserves a splendid fresco, recently admirably restored, of the XVI century, depicting the Madonna with Child flanked by S. Biagio and S. Lucia.
Characteristic of the fresco is to place the patron saint of Maratea has the right of the Madonna, and not to the left, as happens in all other cases.
On the tympanum of the little chapel we can read the Latin couplet
«Lucida Lucenti Luciscis, Lucia, Luce Lux Mea Lucescat, Lucia, Luce Tua»
("O Lucia, you shine with vivid light to those who live in the light, my light, or Lucia, shine in your brightness").
At the Campo district is located in an unhappy position, the chapel of S. Barbara, of the eighteenth century, originally named after S. Maria della Potenza, which preserves a marble altar and a wooden state of the saint.
Between the S. Caterina and Massa fractions is the Fatima chapel, erected with a characteristic dome in 1945 by the citizen Anna Iannini for a vote made on August 15, 1943, during the bombing of the Allies on Maratea.
