3. Monte dell’Avvocata – Sanctuary (865 m)

.

A refreshment stop for body and spirit is the Sanctuary near the mount dell’Avvocata , precisely suspended from peak on mount Falerzio . The wide open spaces overlooking the sea in this walking tour guide the visitor to the contemplation of the Infinite.

Trekking on Monte dell’Avvocata in Amalfi Coast is a classic route that combines the sacred and the profane: breathtaking views of the Gulf of Salerno and the Amalfi Coast and the search for the divine.

Traveling along the Alta Via Dei Monti Lattari from the Corpo di Cava before reaching the sanctuary, you will find the junction towards the Monti del Demanio . You can make a detour to reach this wonderful place that is really worth it for the landscape and the religious value of the place.

At the sanctuary there is also a shelter where you can sleep called Casa del Pellegrino and the cave where there is an altar dedicated to the Madonna dell’Avvocata . Everything is well maintained by the religious community of Cava de ‘Tirreni and Maiori.

The path from Cava de ‘Tirreni is a classic of the Metellian valley and is truly unique, it connects to many other paths that start from Vietri sul Mare , Dragonea di Vietri , Cetara and Maiori and is one of the most famous and routes of the Amalfi Coast.

“The wide open spaces that overlook the sea in this walking path lead the visitor to the contemplation of the Infinite”
