Minori

Only a brief stretch of coastline seperates Amalfi and Minori (the ancient 'Regina Minor'); however, even this small town played its part along with the others in the history of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi.

Its origins lie with the picentines. Certainly the Romans must have come across this quiet coast, leaving us the remains of a first century roman villa., rediscovered at the beginning of the twentieth century.

The present church of Saint Trofimena, built during the eighteenth century in baroque style, replaced an older building. It has three aisles, with paintings by various authors decorating the walls. Meanwhile in the apse above the high altar can be found a large panel showing the "Crucifixion" painted by Marco Pino da Siena. In the crypt are preserved the relics of S.Trofimena.
