Church of Santa Maria ad Martyres

The Church of Santa Maria ad Martyres rises in Lentiscosa, a small and inland hamlet of the municipality of Camerota.With a quadrangular structure, it is a testimony to Basilian monks. The frescoes in the side walls, central wall and lamia vault are visible. They are sacred images, harking back to Byzantine culture. The figures of the saints, arranged in succession have simple shapes of almost equal size and fill all the walls of the vault. In a niche, above the altar, we see the wooden sculpture of St. Mary ad Martyres with Child. It is the only one saved as such an ancient document, among the known churches of the lower Cilento.
